Question
A non-Muslim company deals considerably in riba and other haraam dealings. Is it permissible for a Muslim to work in such a company if he will not be participating in any of the haraam activities of the company?
Answer
Working for the kuffaar in even a halaal capacity is Makrooh and not permissible. This is the Fatwa of the Fuqaha of the Salafus Saaliheen who were the authorities of the Shariah. However, to-
day millions of Muslims have humiliated themselves by working under kuffaar. As far as possible, a Muslim should not work for a non- Muslim even if everything in the business is of a permissible kind. But, the reality is that it is not possible for a non-Muslim business to be free of haraam transactions.
