Is it permissible to sell an apartment and deposit the money in a bank to benefit from usurious interest, given the inability to work in the host country, the father's illness and the parents' old age, and for studies? And what is the wisdom behind Islamic countries closing their borders to refugees, while European countries welcome them, and does this align with the teachings of Islam?
Selling the apartment and depositing its money in the bank to earn usurious interest is not permissible. The price can be invested in a halal (lawful) earning.
As for the second part of the question, Islam is not measured by the actions of individuals or states, and the errors of some of its adherents do not represent it and are not counted against it.
