Question

Assalaam alikum,

I know this question has already been asked. I work for myself (a limited company) and have a contract with an agency which places me in Santander bank, a retail bank - working in the IT team. I know that I am not directly paid by the bank but I dont want to hide behind this fact and make it a 'grey' area. Is my income halal in this case. Thank you and Jazak Allah,

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
