Is it permissible to work for an association that finances small projects with simple loans, from which it obtains interest used for charitable work, administrative salaries, and social development projects, knowing that the original funds are foreign aid, and the association relies on this interest for its continuity?

It is not permissible to work for this association that lends with interest, because that involves cooperating in sin and aggression. This applies even if the usurious profits are spent on good causes, because the end does not justify the means. The association can replace its usurious activity with permissible investment methods such as (partnership), (profit-sharing), and Murabaha (cost-plus financing).
