It is not permissible to deal with usurious banks by opening a current account, because it is considered cooperation in sin, which is prohibited in His (Allah's) Almighty saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." This is only permissible if necessity calls for it.
