Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on depositing money in riba banks without taking the differences?
Answer:
Depositing for the purpose of safekeeping only is permissible in case of dire necessity, if you cannot find a place where you can feel secure about your money. In that case, it is permissible to distribute it among the banks for safekeeping only, not for the purpose of taking the riba interest on it.
