The ruling on one who sells something and receives its price from usury

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question, saying: I have a car, and I sold it to my two brothers four months ago on the condition that they would retrieve it after a certain period of time, and when I asked for it.

The Shaykh: Repeat.

The presenter: I have a car, and I sold it to my two brothers four months ago, on the condition that they would return the price—meaning: return the price to me—after a certain period of time. And when I asked for the price, they said to me: until we withdraw from the bank.
Knowing that the bank deals with interest, and knowing that every year they withdraw an amount from the bank and pay it off with interest.
Give us a ruling on this amount: is it permissible for me to take it from them or not?

Answer:
It is obligatory for them to pay you the right when the term has passed. If the term has passed, it is obligatory for them to pay you the right, which is the price.
But if they take the price from usurious money, it is not permissible for you to accept it; because it is forbidden money.
As for if they pay you from money you do not know about and are not aware of, there is no harm in you taking it, and the sin is upon them. But if you know that this specific money is from usury, do not take it, and ask them for other money, and do not take the usurious money. Yes.
