Working for a company contracted to a bank
Question
I have a job opportunity as an IT contractor in a bank. I will be maintaining their computers and machines but I will not be working for the bank (they will not pay my salary). I will be paid by a company between the bank and I.
I wanted to know if it is Islamically permissible to work if the salary paid is not directly from the bank.
Answer
If the work doesn't revolve around interest or any other haraam then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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