Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on depositing money in riba (usury or interest) banks without taking the interest?
Answer:
Depositing money solely for the purpose of safekeeping is permissible in cases of dire necessity, if you cannot find a place where you can secure your wealth. In that case, it is permissible to deposit it in banks for safekeeping only, not for the purpose of taking the riba (usury or interest) on it. Yes.
