Is it permissible, from a Sharia perspective, to agree to assign your rights to PayPal for any interest accrued on your funds held by the platform, as stated in paragraph 4.1 of their User Agreement: "...PayPal may receive interest on amounts that PayPal holds on your behalf. You agree to assign your rights to PayPal for any interest that may arise from your funds"?
