Do we pay the taxes imposed by America?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Whether... We also paid taxes imposed on us during our studies in America.

The Shaykh : Otherwise, it is better for you not to enter America.

The questioner : Regarding the placement of money in an Islamic bank now, is a person in his transactions...

The Shaykh : Save yourself, save yourself. It is not permissible to deposit money in any bank, whether it has an Islamic sign or not, except in one way. Instead of taking riba (usury or interest) or taking what they call profit, you give them a profit that is not riba, which is renting a safe deposit box where you pay a specific rent every month or every year according to the agreement. In this way, it is permissible to deposit money, because this money is never touched by the hand of riba. As for you, organized men, you place millions and utilize them through riba under the name of murabahah (a cost-plus sale), and you are comfortable with your feet in cold water. Organized men do not take riba, and you know. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
May Allah curse the one who eats riba and the one who feeds it. لعن الله آكل الربا وموكله
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 15:4
So is it sufficient for the Muslims that he does not eat riba? He must also not entrust riba to others. Please.
