Does my work coordinating between a car dealership and an interest-based bank to approve car loans make me a participant in usury?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"Preparing and sending files to the bank, communicating with it to approve an interest-based loan, and informing the client of this, is considered assisting in a forbidden sin, based on the Almighty's saying: 'And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression,' and based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the one who consumes Riba (interest), the one who pays it, the one who writes it down, and its two witnesses, and he said: 'They are all equal.'' Therefore, the one who assists in Riba is like the one who commits it. For this reason, one must abandon this work, and whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect."
