What is the ruling on money inherited from a father and deposited in Bank Misr Al-Islami, and is this money considered permissible given the difference of opinion among scholars regarding the ruling on dealing with Islamic banks?

Do not initiate the greeting to a Muslim with the phrase: "Peace be upon whoever follows guidance," as this formula was used by the Prophet to greet disbelievers. If the bank branch adheres to Islamic guidelines, then there is no harm in benefiting from the money. Otherwise, the unlawful portion must be extracted and spent for the benefit of Muslims, and then there is no harm in benefiting from the remainder. And ask trustworthy scholars in your country about this particular branch.
