Are there any businesses that dont deal with interest?
Question
Asalamu alaikum I live in the UK. I cant think of any business that doesnt deal with interest. Does this mean that it is a sin to work for these companies? Is it better to be unemployed?
Answer
To earn an income is compulsory. That can be achieved by adopting a Halaal self employment scheme. We also suggest you consult with Muslims of your area who are conscious of Halaal and Haraam and seek their advice.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
