To work in this company

Q: I have several shops on Hejaz road and the Arab National Bank has offered (Part No. 15; Page No. 37) to rent them. Since this bank is one of the banks dealing with Riba (usury/interests), is it permissible for me to rent the shops to this bank or any other similar Riba-based banks? Please advise me, may Allah reward you.

A: It is impermissible for you to do so, as the mentioned bank will take these shops as a center for dealing in prohibited Riba, and renting them for this purpose involves helping in a prohibited act. Allah (Exalted be He) says, Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
