Is it unlawful to work as an engineer in a contracting company that builds projects for banks, specifically AlAhli Bank and Bank AlJazira, by calculating cooling loads, preparing payment certificates, and processing purchase orders? And would it still be unlawful if the work were independent of a company and without the involvement of bank employees?
It is impermissible to work in the establishment of a usurious bank because it involves aiding in sin and transgression. However, working for a company in permissible activities that are unrelated to usurious banks is not objectionable. We cannot rule on specific banks, but one can inquire with scholars and specialists in the locations where these banks exist.
