Is the employee responsible for approving bank loan applications for other employees sinful, knowing the prohibition of usury, and having advised the employees to avoid borrowing?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Working in this entity is permissible, unless it entails falling into a Sharia-forbidden act, such as aiding in usury. What you mentioned about giving the employee a guarantee or papers by which he can borrow from the bank is a type of aiding in usury. Therefore, you must refrain from providing these papers for that purpose, or leave work in a position that requires this, unless you are compelled, in which case you remain until the necessity ceases.
