Assalamu alaikum
I have a career related question to the respected moderators of this forum.
I have recently obtained a job offer from a German company that produces and installs lithium battery storage systems. I live in Bangladesh, but the job offer is a work-from-home type.
In addition to producing battery storage systems, the company also collaborates with third-party partners, providing them with training, marketing/sales support, consultation, and product configurations.
My would-be supervisor is a Muslim and he explicitly told me that the entire organization does not have any involvement in interest, insurance, or other haram activities.
The organization uses a very popular CRM solution developed by Microsoft, called Dynamics 365. This product can be customized by clients after purchase.
Dynamics 365 is and end-to-end generic product with multiple modules like Sales, Marketing, HR management, Accounting, Budgeting, Financial forecasting, supply chain management, etc. I went through the product promotion pages and did not find anything “Shariah in-compliant”. However, after I purposefully searched the product manuals, then I found that it is possible to calculate and process interest (which is quite expected since Dynamics 365 is an end-to-end generic system). But please note that this feature is something the software users can choose to use or not use.
My job in this organization would be as a software developer for any kind of software the organization currently uses / would use in the future. Other than developing software from scratch, my role would also include making technical customizations to Dynamics 365 (writing code for updating sales forms / registering partners / etc.)
Respected Mufti @Mufti_Billal and Mufti @Mufti_Faraz_Adam, is there any impermissible element in this prospective job?
JazakAllah khair
