The answer

It is not permissible to work in the manufacturing, programming, or securing of interest-based bank cards, nor to assist in any way with them, whether they are debit or credit cards, due to the prohibition of riba (interest) and assisting in it. If the company provides IT security services for credit cards to interest-based banks, it is not permissible to work there, unless there is a permissible area of work within it, such as working on cards for Islamic banks or cards for company employees that are not related to riba. As for money earned from prohibited work before knowing its prohibition, there is no harm in using it to help one's father perform Hajj.
