If the people of knowledge have issued a fatwa for you to give out half of the profit, then you must give out thirty thousand from the sixty thousand that the bank paid to you, in order to purify your wealth. This money should be spent for the general welfare of Muslims or for the poor and needy. It is not permissible for you to take from it for yourself and your family, unless you are in need, like the need of the poor and the destitute, in which case you may only take what suffices your need. As for the bank's share of the profit, it is not included in the purification amount.
