Please can you let me know if it is permissible for me to work in the IT department of an Insurance Company. The background is below:
- The company provides re-insurance services in the energy and property sectors worldwide.
- I work as an IT infrastructure engineer in the UK. I am an employee and receive a monthly fixed salary, with a discretionary bonus linked to my own performance. My role is to work on projects relating to the back end infrastructure. I am in no way involved on the business side and I am not involved in any software applications they use in the business.
- I have been with the company for over a year and I am settled and progressing well. They are very accommodating with salat at work and flexibility during Ramadan. I am developing well and being given good responsibility in new areas that I want to develop.
Given the above context, can you advise on whether it is okay for me to work for this company under Shariah.
