The Ruling on Bank Interest on the Balance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: At the end of every month, I find that my bank account, my balance in the bank, has increased by a certain amount. So I ask the employee, and he says, "This is interest for you." What is the ruling on this money? And how should I deal with it?

Answer:
Leave it; do not take it. This is riba (usury or interest), so do not take it. Take your principal. Yes.
