Working for Banks

Q: I was a Bank Manager in a Conventional Bank. I left the Bank after Allah Ta'ala blessed me with His guidance. Immediately after I left my Bank job, I got an offer from a person which was very good, almost too good to be true. I joined this person but as the days passed, all my savings from my previous Job were taken from me and I was left with nothing. Thereafter I remained jobless for almost 7 months after which I received an offer from a former acquaintance and I accepted. That job related to IT software very new to me but I managed to learn and work. After 4 years, the business turned bad and the company was dissolved. Now, I'm jobless again. Many people want me to join an Islamic Bank but I'm not sure if it is Islamic at all. I'm afraid that if I join the same sector, Islamic or otherwise, all the hardship I went through to get away from "Riba" would be useless. Please guide me about an Islamic Bank. Should I join?

Q: Is it permissible to work in an Islamic bank department within a conventional bank?

Q: Is Banking job in UK prohibited? Few relatives are saying I must quit bank job immediately as this is Haram. I have concern when Saudi Arabia is Shariah based country than why their banking system is interest based.

Q: In a banking institution the only income they do earn is through Riba. There is no other income generation process involved in a Bank's system. And it means, a bank is paying salaries and profits to all of its employees and partners through the generated income which is nothing but Riba. In that scenario, how can it be legal for an employee to receive such an income which he knows that is paid to him through Riba, and at the same time he knows that he is a part of the machinery where business is nothing but to generate Riba income. In my opinion it becomes totally invalid for a muslim to be associated with a banking institution. Am I right?

Q: Is it halaal to do job in banks? Please explain.

Q: My son applied for a job as a facility manager in a habiba bank London where we live. He had an interview and now he has been offered a job. He did ask them about income. They said its not related to any finance department. His job will be working under someone else as a facility supervisor, building and outside jobs. He told me that he will not be working directly in finance. My concern is should he accept the job?

Q: I know that doing a job in the bank is haram, but does the security guard and drivers of banks also doing haram? As they are not directly involved in Riba based stuff, they are providing services to the bank?
