It is obligatory to leave work in a Riba-based bank immediately, unless there is a necessity that prevents it. If such a necessity exists, where basic needs cannot be met otherwise, then it is permissible to remain in this forbidden work until a permissible job becomes available. And whoever fears Allah and relies upon Him, He will provide for him from where he does not expect.
