Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A family has a sum of money, which is the blood money for their father. The eldest son took it and placed it in the bank as an investment deposit. After a period, the bank contacted them, and they found that the money had increased. What is the ruling on their taking this increase?
Answer:
If the increase is riba (usury or interest), it is not permissible. If it is riba, they are not allowed to take it; they should take their principal and be done with it. But if it is not riba, there is nothing wrong with it.
