Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to open an account in an interest-based bank except in cases of extreme necessity. In such a case, it is permissible to take the interest granted by the bank to the depositor, rather than leaving it for them to use in their falsehood. This is provided that one disposes of it by giving it to those in need or by spending it on general charitable projects.
