The question

Does my work in a smart card issuing company, where I am based in the bank to follow up on the disbursement process while my administrative affiliation is with the company, make me sinful of usury? And does this sin transfer if I am transferred to government work in the same field?

The answer

The company's authorization for banks to disburse employees' dues is permissible, but depositing the dues in usurious banks is forbidden. Money must be withdrawn immediately upon its deposit into the account to prevent the bank from benefiting from it, unless there is a fear of theft. There is no objection to an employee attending the bank building to issue cards if it is mandatory; otherwise, it is impermissible to be present in places of sin. Denouncing usury is obligatory if possible without harm. As for being present in the computer department for the smart card section, there appears to be no prohibition against it.
