\n\tFatwa ID: 04586<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswered by: <\/span><\/span>Mufti Javed ibn Nazir Kachhalia<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

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

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tSalaams Hazrat.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tMy first job, I ever got was processing credit card applications for big retail companies on behalf of their customers. This is called a "retail store cards" The retail company would ask the customer to do a paper application and then would give us a call as the credit card provider to process an electronic application.<\/span><\/span>
\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy job was to input the customer's information to the system and confirm the decision, which, would be one of 3: Accept\/Declined\/Referred.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWas the income for such a role, halal?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving a Halal income and a job that is a means for us to earn Halal is a vital part of our lives.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe should strive towards it and actually is very rewarding for us also.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaiduna Abu Hurayrah (RA) narrates that the Prophet of Allah (SAW) said: “Allah is pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which he commanded the messengers.” And Allah (SAW) has said: “O you who believe! Eat of the pure things and do right.” Allah (SAW) has said: “Oh you who believe! Eat of the pure things we have provided you.” Then the Prophet of Allah (SAW) mentioned a man who journeyed far and dishelmed and dusty and spends out oh his hand to the Heavens: “O Lord! O Lord! While his food is unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can his dua be answered!”<\/span><\/span>(Sahih Muslim)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom what we can understand and the situation that you have mentioned, your role and income are totally ‘Halal’ and permissible as you are not directly connected with any interest-based transactions.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah Most High says:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Help you one another in righteousness and piety, but help you not one another in sin and rancor.” <\/span><\/span>(Surah al-Ma’idah, 2)<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tYour job is to open up an account for the client, that gives him a credit card with a possibility that the client may default in his payment hence be involved in interest.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf a client spends more than his\/her limit and does not pay in time, then this will be considered his\/her own action and cannot be attributed to you. It is something that is done without your involvement, thus it will not be considered assisting in sin.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah knows best.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
