Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)



The job of a financial analyst will be permissible, if your dealings does not involve in Haram transactions like, Riba (interest), insurances etc. In addition, it is also not permissible to advice or encourage others to deal in Haram transactions.



And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
