Question

I want to ask that I am working in audit firm and currently I have to audit different clients. Currently I am in bank audit. Can I drink water from bank premises as mostly income of the bank is based on interest and whether I can eat the foods from the money which is given by bank to my firm and my firm gives us to utilize for foods and dinner etc as we have to work late night.

Answer

Doing work at the bank itself is wrong. Excuse yourself from such work.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
