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?
