\n\tQuestion:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI recently accepted a job as a software engineer at a financial institution which is not a bank. The company has three products: a travel business, credit cards and charge cards which are the core of the business.  So I have the opportunity of rotating and finally settling in as a developer in one of the various teams I wish during the program. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, my question is that about 20% of the company's revenues annually come from interest charges from the credit business. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI want to know the ruling on this inshaAllah.  <\/span><\/span>

\n\tAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt will not be permissible to work at any institute that earns its revenue through haram<\/i> sources. However, you are not required to leave your job instantly but should exert all your efforts in finding a job which is shariah<\/i> compliant. When that is possible, you should resign from your current job.[1]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe also advise that you should prioritize finding a shariah<\/i> compliant job even though it may be less prospective material wise.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
