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

\n\tIs working in a bank permissible<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

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

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe as Muslims have to make sure our jobs and salary are 100% lawful.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaiduna Abu Hurayah \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h narrates that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu 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 \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu has said: “O you who believe! Eat of the pure things and do right.” Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu has said: “oh you who believe! Eat of the pure things we have provided you.” Then the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu mentioned a man who journeyed far and dishelved 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!” (Sahih Muslim)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom this Hadith we can understand that unlawful income does have an effect on ones worship and acceptance of ones duas.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaaiduna Abu Bakr \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu narrated that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said “That body will not enter Paradise which has been nourished with Haram” (Sunan Baihaqi)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaaiduna Ka`b Bin Ujrah narrates that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said, “A body nourished with Haram will not enter Jannah”. (Sunan Tirmizi)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaaiduna Jabir Bin Abdullah \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu narrates that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said, “That flesh will not enter Paradise which has grown from Haram, and all that flesh which has grown from Haram, the fire (of hell) is more worthy of it.” (Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Darimi & Sunan Baihaqi)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo conditions needs to be found for a job to be lawful.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tThe nature of the job has to be compatible with the guidelines laid down by the Shariah.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tThe wages at least the majority of it has to be from lawful sources.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tKeeping this in mind the following bank related jobs would be:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tCashier: Impermissible<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tSelling Interest based loans or mortgages: Impermissible.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tCleaner: Permissible.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\tSecurity: Permissible.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\t \n<\/p>\n

    \n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
