The questioner : Is it permissible for me to take from my father's money to benefit from it in my trade, given that my father deals with and deposits his money in an interest-based bank?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for every person who has reached the age of maturity, such as this son, to strive earnestly to free himself from eating from the money of riba (usury or interest). This is because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 2825Sahih (Al-Albani).
