Question

I currently work for a company that provides Technology solutions to other companies; hence we have fixed term projects with different clients. Recently I have been informed that i will be assigned to a project to provide support to a bank's Software systems. I am uneasy about this as I doubt that my income will become haram if I do so. please can you advise if it is haram to join such a project?

Answer

Do not work on the project which supports the bank's activities. Banks are the worst agencies of riba. Aiding banks in any way whatsoever is haraam. Your income will be contaminated.
