What is the ruling on working in a sector that relies on revenues from usurious loans, which are added to its profits after deducting expenses and salaries?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to work in a sector that lends on the condition that it studies the project for a fee, as this is prohibited usury (riba), and the money earned from it is unlawful. Working in this sector is considered cooperation in sin and aggression. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who pays it, its scribe, and its two witnesses.
