Asalamu alaykum. I need urgent help please! I have an offer as a Software Engineer at Coinbase, which is a crypto exchange platform. Most of their revenue, from what I can tell, comes from transaction fees. However, there is also a portion of revenue that comes from:
- Allowing users to lend out their coins, and gain interest on it
- Trading on margin
As a Software Engineer, I could opt to not work on these specific features. I could work on behind the scenes stuff (software infrastructure), or other features related to the exchange, that are not directly involved in interest. However, since the company also offers these things related to riba, would the work be considered haram? My deadline to accept the offer is December 26th, so please I am seeking urgent help.
JazakAllah khair.
