What is the ruling on working as an expense accountant for a company that deals with usury, knowing that I sometimes deposit and withdraw from the bank?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the work involves usurious transactions, whether lending or borrowing, it is forbidden because it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression, and because the curse of usury includes everyone who assists in it. It is not permissible to remain in this work except out of dire necessity. However, remaining in the company in permissible areas that do not involve forbidden transactions is not unlawful. And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better.
