I have a relationship with the bank, and this is necessary. The bank gives me riba (usury or interest), and if I do not take it, they will use it against Islam and Muslims. Is it permissible for me to take it?

The questioner : He says, "I have a relationship with the bank, and this is necessary."
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : That is, he has a relationship with the bank, he deals with the bank, and he says that it is necessary for him to deal with the bank. He says that the bank gives him riba (usury or interest). He says, "If I do not take this, it will be used against Islam and Muslims." Is it permissible for him to take it and spend it on the reform of Muslims?
The Shaykh : The answer to this requires more time, and we will, if Allah wills, return to you next night. Mention it to us, and bring another question.
