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, today 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.
