Is it permissible to marry an engineer who works in the engineering administration department of a bank specialized in building luxury apartments and buildings?
A woman must be careful to choose a righteous and upright husband who will feed her and her children from what is lawful and keep them away from what is unlawful. Therefore, if the bank where the suitor works is an interest-based (usurious) bank, which markets apartments and buildings based on usury, then it is not permissible to work there or assist it. Similarly, it is not permissible to work in building places of disobedience, such as places of amusement, gambling dens, and interest-based banks. Based on this, if the suitor's work is permissible and he is pleasing in his religion and character, then accept him. But if his work is unlawful, or he is not pleasing in his religion and character, then do not accept him due to the harms that would result from that.
