Lawyer . Riba . Western Society . Bank . Employment

A commercial lawyer in the West works at a law firm that has clients such as banks that charge Riba and have Haram investments. Would it be permissible to work in that firm if they did not work in any financial practice areas that dealt with those banks?

If you are sure that you will never help in usury or any unlawful (Haraam) work, then you can work in such legal firm.

Investment . Riba . Cryptocurrency

I buy crypto tokens for investment purpose. Some tokens offer rewards on allocating (staking) your tokens. The staked tokens get used for voting, and the company rewards you with more tokens. Is receiving tokens on the staked tokens considered Riba?

If you mean that the company rewards you with more tokens if you do more business with them or vote for them or bring more customers, then this reward is allowed
for you. This is when the activities of the company is investing in lawful business only.

Government . Riba . Investment . Pensioner

Is any amount given on fixed time certificates issued by the government for senior citizens and pensioners be considered Riba according to Quran and Ahadees?

If the amount is been invested in lawful business away from unlawful business e.g. alcohol, pork, usury etc, then the income from it will be lawful. Such income can not be fixed by a percentage from the capital, but it must depend on the profit if any.

Fixed amounts given by non Muslims is allowed for the Muslim to receive and utilize in lawful needs and aims.

Muslims . Interest . Riba . Western Society

How can we function as true Muslims living in the West and prohibiting interest (Riba) while there are many financial contracts that include such interest?

We can not prohibit others in Western society from dealing with Riba, but we as Muslims are not allowed to deal with Riba.

The meaning of Riba is to be taken from the Marja' of Taqleed and not from the people.

Despite the fact that we live in a society which deals with Riba but we should not indulge ourselves in Riba as far as we can.
