What is the ruling on working for development funds in developing countries that contribute to non-humanitarian projects (such as tourism and hotels) and invest in both Islamic and non-Islamic banks?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to working in funds that contribute to tourism projects or in usurious banks, as long as the worker does not directly engage in a forbidden act, such as writing down usury or accounting for it. This is because it is considered dealing with mixed wealth, which is permissible.
