What is the ruling on working as a lawyer and legal consultant in a bank due to the lack of other job opportunities?
If the bank is usurious, it is not permissible for you to work in it as a legal consultant, because it is based on sin, and working in it is considered cooperation in sin and aggression. Indeed, a curse has been invoked upon the that consumes Riba (usury), its giver, its scribe, and its two witnesses.
