Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to work in an interest-based (usurious) bank, even if her work is administrative and in an office, given her need for money?

It is not permissible to accept the scholarship if the work after its completion is in a usurious bank, because working in usurious banks is forbidden, and necessity does not make the forbidden permissible. However, if the work is in a permissible entity unrelated to the usurious bank, there is no objection, provided that the regulations of travel are observed.
