The answer

Providing loans with interest is usury (riba), which is forbidden, and it is not permissible to assist in it in any way, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Also, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) "cursed the one who consumes riba, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: 'They are all equal.'" Therefore, it is not permissible to work in a job that involves this forbidden act, unless it is possible to avoid everything related to usurious loans and forbidden acts.
