Is it permissible to continue working at an Islamic bank where there are transgressions in the application of Islamic formulas, and the questioner fears for herself the suspicion of usury, knowing that she is looking for another job but has not found one, and she is responsible for supporting a family?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Transgressions by employees in banking transactions that violate are forbidden, and the matter must be reported to the bank's management and the Sharia Supervisory Board to halt them. If these transgressions do not cease, then one must leave employment at the bank; because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes interest, the one who pays it, and its two witnesses.
