The answer

If a person inherits an apartment whose installments were paid from an interest-bearing deposit, the prohibition of interest does not pertain to the apartment itself but to the deceased's accountability (dhimmah). The apartment is his property and inherited from him. Scholars have differed on the ruling of inheriting ill-gotten wealth; some have allowed it for the heir, even if they know of its unlawfulness, especially if the deceased was ignorant of its prohibition or followed the opinion of someone who permitted it.
