Working in conventional bank : working in a bank promoting saving accounts
السؤال
[Question One] : Assalamu'Aliakum Shaykh, I have two questions, I am really sorry for any inconvenience ; Irstly, few months back, I applied for an internship. At initial stage of the application I was asked to do an unsupervised 20min English test online from home. For that stage of the application process I asked my friend to help me. Once I passed that test I proceeded to other stage of the application i.e. interviews and more test which I did without cheating as such and at the end I was offered a two month internship. The company that I applied to is aware that people may take help from other so they do reassess some people randomly for the 20 min English exam but I was not reassessed. On the completion of my internship my boss was very pleased with my performance and invited me for another interview and presentation. After I passed that interview, I was offered full time contract on the condition that I should get good marks in my degree which I am finishing in June (I am doing my degree with all honesty). The reason I took help from my friend was because since the test was unsupervised most of the people who took it from home did some form of cheating and it would be unfair on me not to do it. But now I want to repent for the sin that I have committed and want to know the income that I will earn will be Halal or not ? moreover, during my internship and other stages of the application process I proved that I am capable of doing my job properly. I am asking this question on behalf of my father, who lives in Pakistan. My dad worked for MCB commercial bank for more than 22 year on his retirement in 2000 he was entitled to certain provident fund. Following > his retirement he joined another commercial bank, it was then we realized that working in a bank is un-Islamic and a grave sin so now he is looking for a job in a Islamic bank and is trying hard to get one .He's willing to move to a Halal job on a relatively lower salary and facilities but he will not leave his current job (bank manager / VP) unless he gets a suitable replacement. I just wanted to ask whether what he is doing is right and do we need to do anything else to purify the wealth my dad has earned over his duration of employment in the commercial bank including provident fund. Moreover, since we don't earn anything is it permissible for us to consume from his earning He started his job in MCB as a clerk and then progress to retire as assistant vice president so his work was varied but he was / is involved in introducing saving accounts. Jazak Allahkhayr SK [Question Two] : Respected Shaykh, I am really sorry for bothering you again. With regards to your Fatawa, as I understand from what you said, my dad as he is involved in witnessing / introducing saving accounts he should leave his job immediately though that is just one of his responsibilities . Moreover, can you please clarify about the money he earned in the past do we have to give that in charity or do we just ask for Allah's forgiveness as he did it because of his ignorance and lack of knowledge. Thanks you very much for your prompt reply and once again let me apologies for the second email. JazakAllahkhayr Sannan
