The answer

If dealing with an interest-based bank is unavoidable, then it is obligatory to deposit money in a current account, not a savings account, repent for past dealings, and withdraw the funds. As for the interest earned, it must be disposed of by spending it on the welfare of Muslims or giving it to the poor and needy. It is permissible to give it to poor sisters because they have a greater right to it. One may take from this money an amount sufficient for their needs if they are poor, and this money is lawful and good for the poor.
