The third question of Fatwa no. 10534
Q 3: My neighbor - also my friend - works in a bank that deals in Riba (usury/interest). He and I are partners in a shop on the basis that we each contributed a sum of money. Does the money I get from this shop involve Riba, because my partner contributed with money from the salary that he earns in the bank? What is he obligated to do?
A: If the money that your partner paid came from the salary he earns in return for the unlawful services he does for the bank, as working in Riba-based transactions, it is not permissible for you to form a partnership with him, whether in the past or in the future. As for the profits, you can have the profit that is proportionate to the capital that you invested.
