Money must be withdrawn from a usurious bank, because mere deposit in it is impermissible. Usurious interest should be disposed of by spending it on Muslim welfare or giving it to the poor and needy. It should not be given to the mother unless she is poor. It is not permissible to leave the interest for the bank.
