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?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
1. No, because their purpose is riba-based profit and an accountant aids that haram purpose and shares in its responsibility.
2. See here.
