Title

The job description the company i work for is a bank that owns this firm, is it allowed for me to work there....

Question

My question is that i work in Incident Managament, the job description is that i help people who have been involved in a car accidents e.g talk to the police, find them a bodyshop to repair the car, and give them a another car while their car is being repaired, but the probelm is behind the job description the company i work for is a bank that owns this firm, is it allowed for me to work there.

I was talking to a brother about my trip to turkey and while i was doing that i uttered the word "crap" by mistake.  I was going to see the holy trusts e,g the prophets (saw) and sahabah (ra) swords etc, but due to it being closed as it is only open in holy month of ramadhan, i was meant to say i saw the ottomans crap but i accidently used it while saing it when mentioning the holy trusts, i have prayed for forgiveness i feel so bad, i hope Allah (swt) will forgive me

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is permissable for you to work in the Incident Management of the company which is owned by the Bank.

And Allah knows best
