There is no sin upon someone who engages in a transaction that has been declared permissible for them, even if it later becomes apparent that some scholars deem it forbidden. The layman's school of thought is that of the one who issues the fatwa to him. The tawarruq conducted by banks is not all the same; some of it is permissible, and some is forbidden, which is known as organized tawarruq, because it is a trick to circumvent usury. The Islamic Fiqh Academy has issued a resolution prohibiting it.
