The answer

Working in usurious banks is not permissible, because it involves cooperation in sin, and the sin of usury is grave. The money earned from it is unlawful, and one must dispose of it by giving it to the poor and for the general welfare of Muslims.

It is not permissible to perform Hajj or Umrah with this unlawful money. Whoever does so, their Hajj will not be accepted and they will not be rewarded for it, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah is good and does not accept anything but good."
