Fatwa for onisla.net : working in exploitative companies

السؤال

[Question One] : Dear Monzer I am a Pakistani National and working for an American oil adn gas company in China. My role in the company is engineering nothing to do with the finances. I am sure the American company is dealing with interest based transactions to handle its finances. Now my question is if it is allowed for me to work for this company considering the following factors : It is an American company It is dealing in interest based transaction It is in the OIL and Gas Sector. I would appreciate a detailed and comprehensive explanation. I am in a lot of anxiety I would appreciate an early response. Regards [Question Two] : Dr Kahf, I appreciate your response and it definitely removes my anxiety. Just to follow up, than by your argument if I was to work for Chevron in e.g. Angola or Nigeria then it would be wrong on my part. Where Chevron might be exploiting. Additionally with regards to working for a Company, that uses debt why is there so much grey area. Some Islamic sites Like Islam web and Islam QA in some responses would say it not permissible and on other say it might be permissible. Why is there so much confusion ? Regards' Rashid
