What is the ruling on funds compulsorily deposited in a bank from which usurious interest is obtained, given that one can either refuse the amount or invest it in forbidden trades?
The amount allocated in a special account for the employee is his property. The company's action of placing it in an interest-bearing account is an injustice because they deposited it in something forbidden. Upon receiving it, the employee must purify the amount from the interest-based increase by giving it away as charity. The second action, which is investment mixed with the forbidden, is lighter than pure usury, and he must get rid of the forbidden portion when he receives it.
