What is the ruling on working at the Central Bank, specifically in the department that monitors the stock prices of listed companies owned by the state (approximately 20% of the shares of all companies), collects their profits, and subscribes to their capital increases?

The ruling on working in a department specialized in monitoring company shares, profits, and subscriptions depends on the activities of these companies. If they deal in usury (riba) or produce or provide forbidden services, then it is forbidden to work in this department, as it constitutes cooperation in sin, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." However, if their activities are free from forbidden things, then there is no harm in working there.
