How to Get Rid of Usurious Money
A person lives in a non-Islamic country, and there is no Islamic bank in their country, so they placed their money in a usurious bank. However, the system of the usurious bank increases the amount of interest after each period as long as the amount deposited in the bank exceeds a certain amount. What should they do with this interest? And what is the way to get rid of this interest?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is permissible to deposit money in a usurious bank out of necessity due to the absence of an Islamic bank, and he must give in charity the usurious profits that result from depositing the money, and God knows best.
