What is the ruling on a salary disbursed by a usurious bank in a country where there is no Islamic bank and it is not possible to receive the salary in cash?

It is not permissible to deal with usurious banks by opening a current account therein by choice, as it involves cooperation in sin. However, if a Muslim is compelled to do so in a country where there is no Islamic bank, such as a necessity due to his job or fear of losing his money, then there is no objection. He must transfer his account immediately once the necessity ceases.
