Questions Mortgage and Income

Question:

Assalam Shaykh,
May this mail find you in the best of health and Emaan InshaAllah.

Two Questions:
1. Is it permissable in Islam for one to work for a secular bank (where riba is common) as an accountant?
2. If one has a riba based mortgage, what should one do, change to a Islamic Mortgage even if they are not totally 100 Shariah compliant? Or sell the house and live on rental property until one has cash to buy?

Jzk

Answer:

Alaykum as-Salam,
1. No, because their purpose is riba-based profit and an accountant aids that haram purpose and shares in its responsibility.
2. See this post.
