Seeking the interest accrued on the amount in the bank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Is it permissible to claim the interest accrued on any amount withdrawn for any deceased person from any bank where that amount was deposited? And if that is not permissible, should the interest be left in the bank to benefit the bank or otherwise?
A3: If a Muslim dies and leaves money in some of the interest-based banks, and there is interest on it, it is not permissible for the heirs or any other guardians of the deceased to take the interest-based interest for their own benefit; because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has forbidden riba (usury or interest), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed its consumer, its scribes, and the witnesses to it. However, the interest should not be left in the banks; rather, it should be taken and immediately spent on charitable projects and avenues of righteousness, such as supporting the poor, paying off the debts of those in financial difficulty, and the like. And the one responsible for the principal amounts must withdraw them from the banks; because leaving them there is a form of assisting them in sin and transgression, unless he is compelled to leave them there, in which case there is no harm, but without interest, as mentioned in the answer to the previous question.
