Is it obligatory for one who transfers money to an interest-based bank to hasten to withdraw his money from it?

The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah forgive you and your parents.
The salaries of teachers in Qassim are paid via checks through one of the interest-based banks. So, if a teacher has circumstances that delay the withdrawal for a week or less, or more, is there anything required of him? Or must he hasten to withdraw them?
The Shaykh : There is nothing required of him. Every person who transfers money to a bank is not required to hasten to take it, because we have not known anyone to say: if a person has a right against one who deals in riba, he must hasten to take his right. So, he may keep it and take it whenever he needs it.
