Writing a program guide
Question
I'm a summer student at a government job. One of my jobs involves writing a guide to using a program that evaluates the equivalent annual cost of a building. It is used as a means of making purchasing decisions. I'm not making the calculations, just showing how to use the program. However, these evaluations involve interest. Is writing this guide sinful? I consulted a Sheikh and a mufti and they said it's ok, since I'm not directly involved with the transaction. However, I'm still worried about it.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible for you to write the guide in reference.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
