The ruling on taking money from a brother who works in a riba (usury or interest) bank

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman who says: I have a brother who works in a riba (usury or interest) bank, and he gives us some money from his salary. Her question is: Am I allowed to take this money, or is it not permissible?

Answer:
If he has earnings other than the salary, there is no harm, because it is not established that what he gave you is from the salary; it could be from his other money. But if his only money is the bank salary, it is better that you do not take it; may Allah make you independent of it. Yes.
