Developing software for a financing company

· 1 Shaʻban 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am working in a software house as a software engineer where I develop a software for a leasing and finance company. That leasing and finance company gives cars/vehicles to their customers on interest. And I develop and provide them the software for their interest business. Is my job is right or wrong? What should I do?

Answer

If your work does not entail anything that is wrong and related to interest etc. then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
