Assalamu aliakum, My wifes parents baught a house with a interest bank loan a few years ago when they where not pracitising Muslims. They did not know it was Haram back then. They became religious later and now want to pay the house down so they can live Riba free. Can I help them pay the house down, so that they can pay back the house loan as fast as possible avoiding longer payment of riba?

There is something bothering me regarding the savings account in an undoubtedly pure Riba-based bank. I save my money because keeping it with me exposes the money to unnecessary spending & it is quite unsafe. I have even recently written to the manager to remove any interest attached to my account. Can I continue saving in this bank as a necessity?
