What is the ruling on working for the General Authority for Financial Supervision in Egypt?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If working in this organization necessitates directly engaging in forbidden acts or assisting in them, then it is not permissible. This includes, for example, being compelled to engage in usurious transactions, due to the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: "They are all equal." However, if it is free from these prohibitions, then there is no harm in working there.
