If I was offered a job at a bank who makes their money primarily off of interest, but my work would consist of things that aren’t directly dealing with interest (ie working in IT department), is it acceptable for me to take the job? \n2. If I was offered a job at a financial services company who makes their money off of investing in the market, but my work wasn’t directly dealing with the investments. Is it acceptable for me to take the job?\n3. If I were to work at any corporation in America, it is highly likely that they are making money off of interest because of them using their money they put in saving accounts and use that money to pay their employees. Although it isn’t their main form of income they can still make money off of it. In that case would it be okay to work for that company?","answer":"For all three questions, the answer is the same. Yes, it's permissible because if your job is not directly dealing with interest-based transactions.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff00b76658b4c2329a9","tag":"Contemporary Life: Jobs and Career","count":120},{"_id":"668da01b0b76658b4c232e51","tag":"Contemporary Life: Interest","count":34}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:28.996Z"}
