This ERP has one part in which it provides functionality of collecting interest. Companies which want to use this feature can separately pay for this feature and companies can also turn off this functionality. Now as a software developer, if i am assigned a task of enhancing interest functionality, which is to write code to add functionality. Will this be halal for me? When i joined the company, i was not informed and i was not even aware that ERP can also have interest functionality. i have also did not signed any contract that i would not do it. Now in this situation what should i do? If i work for this feature, will my salary be halal for me? If it is haram and if i have already worked on this functionality, what should i do with my salary that i earned while working on this feature?

Q: I work for a fund-raising organisation called the RSL (Returned Services League). It is 100% charity based. We help Australian war veterans and their families. I work in the telephone marketing team which calls RSL members and asks for donations. We use a raffle ticket system where the donators purchase a $5 ticket which puts them in the draw for a house plus other prizes like gold or cash. All proceeds from the tickets go to charity and to run the organisation. Is this a type of gambling? Am I allowed to continue this job?
