Donating the Benefits of Usurious Money

Question
I deposited my money in a usurious bank, which generates interest on deposits. Is it permissible for me to keep my money in this bank and donate these interests?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If there is no Islamic bank in your country, it is permissible to place money in a traditional (usurious) bank, take the interest, and distribute it for charitable purposes, and God knows best.
