Is it permissible to accept an offer of study and work from an interest-based bank that has opened an Islamic branch?
If the tuition expenses are from the very essence of usurious profits, then it is forbidden for you to benefit from them unless you are poor and in need. However, if they are from mixed funds, then taking them is disliked.
Regarding working in the Islamic transaction branches of a usurious bank, there is no harm in it if these branches adhere to the rulings of Islamic law and are not merely a facade.
And if benefiting from the study at the bank's expense is permissible, then it is only permissible if working in its Islamic branches is also permissible, because the bank stipulates working for it after graduation, and "Muslims are bound by their conditions."
