Abstract

This Study shows the misconception of innocent Muslims on about “Are the service of conventional banking fully Haraam for the Muslim? This study is conducted the widespread misconception in innocent Muslim minds that everything associated with banking within the conventional system is prohibited in Islam. This probably stems from a lack of understanding and genuine desire of common Muslims to stay away from even remotely prohibitive income. Since this assumption of blanket prohibition is erroneous. In fact, there are clear guidelines in Islamic law and Islamic Sharia law [1]. This paper analyzes which services, functions and products have been Prohibited by Islamic law and Shariah and which services, functions and products have been allowed to be accepted subject to certain condition, There are many permissible (halal) functions that conventional banking institutions perform and make substantial profits from. In my view, Muslims may engage in such functions in the form of customers, employees, investors or advisers and if you have no direct involvement in any riba transaction, then it's fine to work there.
