Is the money her husband earns from his work as a manager in a commercial usurious bank forbidden or permissible, and must he leave this job despite the lack of alternatives in his field of specialization?
An employee in a usurious bank, such as a manager, scribe, witness, accountant, or auditor, is complicit in usury, based on the : "Allah has cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who gives it, the one who writes it, and its two witnesses." They must immediately leave their work and repent to Allah, for whoever fears Allah, He will make ease for him in his affair. The salary of a usurious bank manager is unlawful because it results from prohibited work and cooperation in sin and aggression. The existence of permissible services is irrelevant because the primary nature of the bank is usury. For details on the ruling concerning money earned from such work, please refer to fatwas no. 62044 and 69224.
