Working
for a company which takes a loan from a bank which deals with
ribaa
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
I am an accountant in a trading company, and this company
is forced to take out loans from a bank which deals in ribaa.
Then a copy of the loan agreement comes to me to confirm the
company's debt and register it in the books. Am I considered
one who records a ribaa-based
transaction, and is it not permisisble for me to work for
this company, meaning, am I considered a sinner as a result
of this contract even though I did not approve it?
Response:
It is not permisisble to work with this company in ribaa-based
transactions, because the Messenger (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) cursed those who ate/benefitted (aakil)
from ribaa
as well as the one responsible (for the transactions), the
one who writes (the transactions) and the witnesses (to the
transactions), and he said:
((...they
are the same/equal...)), transmitted by Imaam
Muslim.
And
also Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) says:
{...do
not help one another in sin and transgression...},
[Soorah
al-Maa.idah, Aayah
2].
