Kitabosunnat Ruling on designing websites which offer help in getting riba-based loans
I work as a website designer, which means that I design websites for clients. Recently my cousin asked me to design a website for a company that offers a lot of services to its clients.The problem is that one of these services is helping people to get riba-based loans, but they do not give them the loan; rather they help them to find it. Is it permissible for me to design this website for them? My cousin is not Muslim and he knows that I am Muslim; I do not want to give a bad impression of Muslims if I refuse to do what they ask. Can you help me?.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
There is nothing wrong with a Muslim working in the field of website design, which is permissible in and of itself, but he has to avoid designing websites that promote haram actions, such as websites for banks, alcohol, movies, chat between males and females, and so on.
The basic principle in forbidding that which is prohibited is the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily,Allah is Severe in punishment” [al-Ma’idah 5:2].
If the website is not solely for something haraam, and is a site for something that is basically permissible, but will include some haram things--as in the case of the company you asked about -- then it is permissible for you to design a website for them, subject to two conditions:
1. That most of what this company does is permissible; it should not be the case that most of their work or activity is in haram fields.
2. That you yourself do not work on the haram areas.
With regard to the company that you asked about: it is permissible for you to design a website for them, so long as the riba-based transactions mentioned are not the main activity of this company and that you do not make a window for this haraam activity or promote it in any way.
See also the answers to questions no. 105325, 22756, 121259 and 109062
Secondly:
With regard to your telling your cousin about the Islamic ruling on what you abstain from, this is a kind of calling to Islam (da‘wah) Rather it is your working to design websites for haram services that is bad for Islam. There is no justification for a Muslim to do something haraam in order to please a kaafir. In fact the kaafir himself may think that you are contradicting yourself if he knows that your religion forbids riba but you are designing a webpage for services that help people to get riba-based loans!
The Muslim has to beware of seeking people’s approval by means of that which angers Allah, may He be exalted, because that will backfire on him, leading to negative consequences and harm. At-Tirmidhi (2414) narrated (in a report that was classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih at-Tirmidhi)that ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever seeks to please Allah by angering the people, Allah will suffice him against the people, but whoever seeks to please people by angering Allah, Allah will leave him to the people.”
There is another report, narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (1/501): “Whoever seeks to please Allah by angering people, Allah, may He be exalted, will be pleased with him and will cause the people to be pleased with him; whoever seeks to please people by angering Allah, Allah will be angry with him and will cause people to be angry with him.”
It should be noted that true dawah and attracting people to Islam is done by adhering to it. But if you tell people that Islam forbids riba--for example--then you deal in it or help others with it, this is a kind of blocking the way of Allah and putting people off His religion, because they will say: If what he is calling us to and telling us about is true, why is he not adhering to it?
And Allah knows best.

Islamic Banking And Finance
This text has been designed for use by professionals new to the field of Islamic banking and finance and by students at undergraduate level or above.
While many reference works focus on a narrow set of content, "Islamic Banking and Finance; What It Is and What It Could Be" expands its coverage to include the historical, theological, commercial, legal, institutional and macro-economic factors affecting the modern world of Islamic banking and finance. It is organised into four main sections:
Islam and the Shari`ah, Traditional Contract Forms, Contemporary Practices, and A Response to Capitalism.
In a rare approach to the topic, the content encompasses views both for and against the current direction of the Islamic banking and finance industry and suggests a number of basic reforms at the institutional and contractual levels. Traditional and contemporary interpretations of Islam are contrasted, along with differences of opinion among the various schools of thought, so that the reader can better understand current discourse among scholars of Shari`ah. And in a section devoted entirely to the modern application of Islamic contract law, fourteen case studies provide a detailed analysis of the extent to which modern Islamic financial products adhere to the legal principles outlined elsewhere in the book.
Particular attention has been paid to clarity of expression in order that complex concepts can be absorbed quickly. To aid the learning process, an extensive index and table of contents allows ease of reference, and suggestions for further advanced reading are provided at the end of each section.
Self tests allow students to keep pace with their progress, and these also act as a guide on content for more experienced readers. An extensive Arabic glossary is provided, and key terms are transliterated in the main body of the text.
