Question
Praise be to Allah.
There is nothing wrong with working in the mint, and this
work has nothing to do with the transactions of the riba-based banks. The
people’s need for this currency is obvious to everyone, as it has become
essential to their lives. Production of this currency is connected to the
strength or weakness of the local economy, and the relationship between the
mint and the central bank is not one of transactions, rather it issues
orders to print a certain amount according to the fluctuations in the
foreign currency reserve and the economy.
And Allaah knows best.
