Working in companies that may deal with some Haram : working for a company dealing with interest

السؤال

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I am 50 years old and I work for a school in Muscat.I am in charge of the store of the school. My boss (a Sudani) is giving me a very hard time by always shouting and insulting me, it looks as if he hates me and wants to take revenge on me. He respects the other Indians who are non Muslims a lot. I work very hard and he even gives me his personal work to do and I don’t object, he even gives me his accounts work I don’t object, I do it for him, first of all because I am helpless and secondly because I have a family to support and I just cant object for anything, I have to put my head down for anything he tells me. I am very helpless in my job. I have no prestige and I am very low front of all as he has kept me in this way since 4and half years now. He shouts and insults me front of other employees which has affected me in my personal life (physically, emotionally and mentally). If I am little late to finish my Salaah he shouts at me, if I happen to go to toilet he shouts at me telling why you don’t tell before moving from your seat. He harasses me even for simple things and he is a Muslim, prays like me and fasts like me. This has even affected my family to certain extent. Many times when I am out of the school I curse him as I am helpless, I ask only almighty Allah to punish him as I have no one else. It’s hard to find any job too here plus I am not very young. I was desperately waiting to get rid of this job and to find some other. But could not find one as it?s very hard here, we should have higher recommendations or from some known people. We have no one here to do this for us so we ask almighty Allah to help and he is the greatest. Recently one of my freind who is supplying some security items for a manager in an investment company told him about me and he has asked me to submit my CV. Now I am confused to go for this job or no even though I desperately need one. This is an investment company and the vacancy maybe in their insurance department (gulf insurance). As our Salaf bothers are of the view that its completely Haram even to join their company whereas some other say that as long as a person is not involved in direct transactions with interest the job is not Haram. Now what we Muslims have to do in this situation where each one has his own opinion which supports Quranic verses. I am afraid to take this decision because I do not want to jump into Haram, I will bear my torture in the school but not to do something which almighty Allah has forbidden. I may work in their IT department or administration; I am basically a web designer, it depends on them to allot me the respective job. This world is really a fitna and it’s very difficult to find a clean place to work in, 99 % of the companies deal with interest so what should we do ? Another question is similar: my son is in his first year of accounting and I am frightened for his future now as its difficult to find a job in a company, who do not deal with interest especially his work in accounts will be to handle all calculations relating interest, what should we do pleases advise. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
