Due to his bad circumstances, he

Q: A person has been working for one of the banks for ten years now, and he knows that working for banks is impermissible. He works there as a night guard, and has nothing to do with the banking transactions. Is it permissible for him to continue working in this job or should he quit?

A: It is impermissible for a Muslim to work as a night guard for Riba (usury/interest)- based banks, for this is assisting in sin and transgression that Allah has forbidden in His Saying, ...but do not help one another in sin and transgression. Since the majority of banks deal with Riba, you should seek a means for Halal (lawful) sustenance other than this means. (Part No. 15; Page No. 44) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
