Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the interest on money deposited in one of the riba banks? And is it permissible for me to dispose of it by giving my brother, who is about to get married, a portion of it to help him with the marriage, knowing that he does not have the means to provide the money required for marriage?
Answer:
If the balance in the bank is merely for safekeeping, merely for safekeeping, and you do not invest it in riba, then there is no harm in depositing it for the purpose of safekeeping only.
