The IT company creates software products that help to improve clients\u2019 servers performance and security. The company wants me to lead a Client support team which will help to solve complicated technical issues related to products that the company provide to their clients.<br>The issue is that there are some clients which are conventional banks or insurance companies (approximately 20% of the clients from haram fields). <br>My questions are:<br>\u2022 Can I accept the offer and join the company?<br>\u2022 Will I be sinful if the people of my future team will be helping haram clients and I will have to force my team members to support all the clients including haram ones<br>\u2022 If I reject to personally interact with haram clients (in case of escalations for example), but my team members still must do those interactions with haram clients resolving their issues \u2013 will I be still sinful?<br>Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If the job does not require you to create software products for interest bearing transactions or improving them, then there is some allowance for you to do the job. However, due to nature of the bank\u2019s business where a large portion of their profits are made from interest bearing transactions, it would be preferable not to work for the bank, even as a software developer.(See Quran:5:2)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mufti Mujahid Dan Lubrin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Darul Iftaa, Jaamia Madinatul Uloom (Trinidad)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatwa-tt.com\"><strong>www.fatwa-tt.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> \/<\/strong><a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/user\/Downloads\/www.jaamia.net\"><strong>www.jaamia.net<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: As-Salamu &#8216;Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuThe background:I have a job offer from an IT company.
