What is the ruling on the wage of an engineer supervising the construction of housing funded by usurious loans, and should he continue in this work?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no impediment to accepting supervision of the construction of homes whose owners borrowed their cost from interest-based banks, because your work is not considered assistance in an interest-based loan. The sin falls upon the borrowers, and they must repent. You should forbid them from this evil, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is unable, then with his tongue; if he is unable, then with his heart—and that is the weakest of faith."
