The answer

Money earned from working in a usurious bank is unlawful due to its illicit nature. It should be spent on charitable causes and general Muslim welfare. Its possessor may take from it only what is necessary for their basic needs, such as housing, food, clothing, and transportation, provided they have no other source of permissible income.
