Working in a bank

Q: I have a doubt, are Muslims allowed to work in a bank.

A: The majority dealings of all conventional banks are in total contradiction with the laws of Shari'ah. Their main operation revolves around interest and usury. Hence one should refrain from taking employment in a bank.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
