The Ruling on Taking Interest-Based Profits
The money that you are going to take after five years will be composed of the capital – which is the money paid by the company – and the Riba-based profits – which are known as interest. Because Riba-based money is not permissible for you, you have no right to take any more than the capital, and you have to leave the interest to the bank, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
{but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums.} [Al-Baqarah 2:279]
