Is bookkeeping/accounting haram? I talked with a person today and told him that I have a summer job at a bookkeeping office. He told me that it is haram/problematic because it involves Riba then he went on to quote the hadith about the Prophet (pbuh) cursing the kaatib and since as a part of bookkeeping I write/record the amount riba-based debt that I am also a kaatib. I would like some scholarly information on this issue with sources since this is a matter of importance to me.
