Is it permissible to recover money stolen from a bank through the bank's profits, knowing that bank profits are usury (riba)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to deposit money in usurious banks for the aforementioned purpose. One must repent and withdraw the money from the bank after solving the problem, then deposit it in an Islamic bank. It is not permissible to take usurious interest for oneself or to protect one's money.
