It is permissible to keep the money in the bank as it is not safe in the house. However, one should open a current account that doesn’t give interest. If this not possible, then one can take the interest and give it to the poor and needy as a form of cleansing one’s wealth.

My mom has a saving account were I have to put my money in, for me to save up. However, recently I found out that it gives interest. I spoke to my mom and she said it’s ok we not gna take the interest but we will give the interest money to the poor
