Receiving Salaries from Usurious Banks
I am an employee in education and my salary is deposited in Jordan Bank. Is there anything haram in my salary because it is deposited in a bank that deals with usury, knowing that I have not taken a loan, nor do I receive profits from the bank on my salary? As soon as my salary is deposited, I immediately withdraw it in full?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If you can transfer it to another bank, so that we do not assist these usurious banks in corrupting Muslims and their lands. If that is not possible, you should commit to withdrawing your salary from them as soon as it is deposited. And God knows best.
