Is consultancy haram . Are all audit jobs haram e.g accountancy, Is the one of the Big 4 a isalmically ethical place to work at
My job is financial services representative and my job involves checking customers credit score and based on that approve loans. I also have to call people to persuade to apply for a loan but the company charges interest on the loan. Although they are quite upfront about it. Would my job be considered haram?
Thank you
