Marrying a girl whose father works in a Riba bank

Q: I am a Multazim (practicing Muslim) young man, and I want to marry a Multazim girl. However, I am hesitant because of her father's work in a Riba (usury/interest) bank. What is the ruling of the Shari`ah (Islamic law) on this marriage? It is worth mentioning that if a marriage is concluded, the two families will exchange visits to maintain the ties of kinship, and this will, definitely, necessitate eating with them, exchanging gifts, and the like, especially during the first days (Part No. 18; Page No. 45) of marriage. What is the ruling of the Shari`ah on this?

A: If the woman whom you want to marry is upright and holds fast to the Din (religion) of Islam, her father's work in a bank should not present an obstacle to her marriage and it does not prevent you from marrying her. You should advise her father and convince him to leave his work. Perhaps Allah (Exalted be He) will guide him through you. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
