The answer

It is not permissible to keep one's salary in a usurious bank, because it involves assisting them in prohibited usury, based on the Almighty's saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). It must be withdrawn and deposited in an Islamic bank, if one is available. However, if there is a fear of the money being stolen or lost, then there is no harm in keeping it in the aforementioned bank.
