The ruling on the profits of a riba (usury or interest) bank that my father did not consider forbidden

Question:
May Allah reward you. In her final question, she says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) had money in one of the banks, and he used to take profits from it, but he (may Allah have mercy on him) did not believe that this was riba (usury or interest). Is there a way to make it right? May Allah forgive him. My father used to spend on us from that money, so does that mean we were fed with haram (forbidden) food and our clothing came from haram (forbidden) sources? And does that mean our supplications will not be answered? We did not agree to this, and we were not able to do anything about it.

Answer:
This is a matter that has passed and ended. However, if you are able to give in charity an amount equivalent to the riba (usury or interest) profits, that is the best way to clear your conscience and is better for you regarding what you consumed from this gain. If you are not able to do so, the matter has passed and ended, and we ask Allah for his forgiveness. This is considered a sin, indeed one of the major sins. A Muslim who commits a major sin is subject to Allah’s will: if Allah wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him. Yes.
