Is it forbidden to work for the General Tax Authority, similar to working for usurious banks, or is it obligatory to continue working for a usurious bank until it is possible to transfer to an Islamic branch whose establishment date is unspecified, given that there is a job opportunity at the General Tax Authority with a specified date?
It is not permissible to work in interest-based banks, due to the assistance it provides in sin. One must repent to Allah and leave this work, moving to a permissible job. If a person can only find work in the tax authority, then let him move to it until he finds a job that is free from doubt.
