Question
Is it permissible to work for a bank? If it is an Islamic bank? Can we eat the food of a person who works in a bank? Can we accept his gifts?
Answer
It is haraam to work in a bank. A bank is the worst institution of riba. There is no difference between conventional kuffaar banks and the so-called 'islamic' banks. All of these institutions are riba banks. It is not permissible to eat the food of a person whose income is from bank salary. Gifts may not be accepted from such a person.
