Salaam,
I work as a UX designer at a major UK bank. I’ll be working on improving the designs of their investments platforms relatively soon, and wanted an idea of whether this was halal or not. For context, I won’t have anything to do with the actual investments themselves. The remit of my role would be:
- To enable customers to invest with the bank in a simpler and more intuitive manner
- To enable customers to find out more/educate themselves on investments and investment habits
- To enable customers to interact and act upon their investments in a simpler and more intuitive manner
While I won’t be working on the investments themselves, I do feel slightly uneasy about enabling people to invest in things which, for the most part, would be haraam. Do we know if there is an opinion on what I’ve described above - would it be best to look for new work or is it ok to work on this project?
