As-Salamau alaikum Wa rahmatullah,
Dear Shuyookh,
I would like to know whether it is permissable to work for an IT consultancy that writes software systems for the asset finance industry. The income earned is thorough sales of the software and subscriptions. The overwhelming majority of customers are interest bearing companies, including retail banks, insurance companies, investment banks etc - all of whom have a significant interest income.
The customers use software to do both halaal and haraam (i.e. interest bearing transactions).
Is such a job halal? Is the income from that job halaal? Is this violation of the ayah: ".. ta'wanoo alal birri wat taqwa, wa la ta'awanoo alal 'ithmi wal udwaan.."?
Ma'as salaamah
