Is it permissible to work for "Aman Financial Services" company, which provides micro-loans and bill payment and installment services, bearing in mind that the company offers life insurance to the employee, and in light of the noble Hadith: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who consumes Riba (usury/interest), the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: 'They are all equal'"?

It is not permissible to work for a company that lends with a stipulated increase (interest/riba) and provides commercial life insurance, except in cases of extreme necessity and for a limited period until a permissible alternative becomes available. For whoever fears Allah and relies upon Him, He will provide them with good sustenance from whence they do not expect.
