What is the ruling on working as a supervisor of cleaning workers in a bank, given the fatwa of the Egyptian Dar Al-Iftaa permitting work in banks that do not engage in usurious transactions, and a fatwa by Sheikh Muhammad Hassan permitting work in the field of bank cleaning, as it does not fall under the curse of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, upon the devourer of usury, its feeder, its scribe, and its two witnesses?
Working in usurious banks is not permissible due to the affirmation of evil and assisting in it. The prohibition includes all jobs and positions in a usurious bank, even if they are not directly related to usury, such as: painting work, or working as a driver, or a guard; because that falls under cooperating in sin and aggression, which Allah has forbidden.
