The Ruling on Salaries from Riba-Based Banks

Question:

Answer:
If he was ignorant, he keeps what he has already received, and his case is left to Allah, as the Exalted and Majestic is He said: We ask Allah for safety. If he was not ignorant, giving it in charity is safer, because Allah said: "But if one is admonished by his Lord and then stops, what he has done previously is forgiven, and his case is left to Allah. But if he returns to it, those are the companions of the Fire." We ask Allah for safety. Yes. If it was the cause of him leaving the job, that is the apparent ruling. The apparent ruling is that he gives it in charity, or supervises it for the sake of righteousness and good deeds, such as digging wells for Muslims, repairing roads, repairing bathrooms, and the like of what benefits Muslims, releasing prisoners, and the like. Yes. If someone says he should excuse you by repairing all the bathrooms, and not putting it in mosques, and not releasing it. No, not mosques. The avenues of good other than mosques; mosques are invalidated by it, so do not spend it on them. There are many avenues of good.
