Is it permissible for an excelling female student to accept a monetary gift offered by a usurious bank (which is opening an account with 150 K.D.) and then close the account, and what is the ruling on accepting gifts distributed by the same bank to the general public?

Bank gifts are permissible, though disliked, because the bank's money is mixed with lawful and unlawful elements. There is no harm in taking this amount, and then the usurious account must be closed.
