Q: I work as a typist. Sometimes people ask me to type letters that are sent to banks for the purpose of carrying out banking transactions like the case of a company lending or borrowing a sum of money at a fixed interest rate estimated according to the total value of the loan. I wish Your Eminence could enlighten me about the permissibility of my work as a typist.

A: It is prohibited to work as a typist of usurious contracts and the money you receive for that work is unlawful. It was authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed the one who accepts Riba (Usury), the one who gives it, those who witness to it, and the one who writes it. You have to quit this job. Lawful earnings help a person avoid unlawful earnings. Allah compensates a person who abstains from prohibited things for the sake of Allah. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
