Is it permissible for a company to provide the required data and documents (such as salary certificates and auditor's reports) to non-Islamic banks, to facilitate its employees' access to interest-based loans, knowing that the company is not obligated or responsible for these facilities, and that its accounts and dealings are Islamic?
If the procedures required from the company are to facilitate an interest-based loan or to help an employee obtain it, then the general rule is that the company is not permitted to perform them, except for what is necessary by virtue of the contract, such as a salary certificate. Whatever the company can refrain from, it is obligated to refrain from it, due to the generality of the prohibition against assisting in usury, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes Riba, its payer, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: 'They are all equal [in sin].'" There are permissible means to obtain money, such as Tawarruq through Islamic banks.
