I offer customers of other banks to  transfer their balance on other credit cards over to the cards of my  bank by offering them lower interest rate. What is Islamic verdict on my  nature of job? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It  is not allowable to devour interest or work for someone devouring  interest. However, there are different kinds of jobs in the bank. If you  are involved in policy making and you actively promote the cause then  your participation is more risky religiously. If however, you are just  doing an assigned job your participation may incur less harm. There are  jobs which do not even involve any such transactions and one is assigned  only for example receipts and withdrawals. You may consider switching  the job if you think you are directly involved in luring others into  paying interest but you are not require to hastily leave the job and  find yourself in financial difficulties. God knows the true status of  one\u2019s heart and how one is involved in a sin or is forced by the  circumstances to do a job that apparently amounts to cooperation in a  sinful activity.<\/p>\n<div>May God help us tread the path of his liking.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-28<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6657\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I work for a bank and deal  with credit card balance transfers.
