The answer

Storing files for insurance companies and usurious banks is forbidden, as it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression. Allah Almighty says: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression) Al-Ma'idah/2. It is obligatory upon a Muslim to abandon disobedience to Allah and not to assist a disobedient person. And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. The Permanent Committee has issued a prohibiting working as a guard in usurious banks, or as a scribe for usurious transactions, or in a department that grants usurious loans, or in a newspaper that publishes news promoting obscenities. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses. Therefore, anyone who cooperates with usurious companies in any way falls under this warning.
