Is it permissible to work at an Islamic (real estate) bank and receive a salary from the returns that the bank obtains through Islamic transactions, especially given the need for money for marriage expenses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

However, merely contracting with a usurious bank to work there is impermissible, as it involves entering into a forbidden lease contract and acknowledging usury.
