Is it permissible to send our children to an Islamic school that was built with a riba-based loan?

Question

Praise be to Allah.

Allah, may He be exalted, has enjoined parents to take care
of their children, both male and female. Taking care of them is not only
limited to giving them food and drink, and clothing them; rather there are
things that are more important than that and more deserving of the parents’
attention and concern. What we mean by that is bringing children up with
Islamic attitudes and love of the faith; teaching them beneficial Islamic
knowledge; making sure that they are adhering to Islamic duties, foremost
among which is the prayer; and making sure they avoid bad friends and bad
attitudes.

Perhaps choosing a good area to live in and choosing good
neighbours and friends plays a role in good upbringing and care of children.
Choosing a good Islamic school also has a major impact in giving children a
good education and upbringing.

The fact that the Islamic school was built with a riba-based
loan does not mean that the Muslims should not send their children there.
The sin is only on the one who took out the riba-based loan, not on the
students or teachers.

If someone builds a house with a riba-based loan, the sin is
only on him alone; it has no impact on anyone who visits him in that house
or eats his food, although they should advise him to repent from what he has
done. We have discussed this issue in the answer to question no.
110208.

Even if a mosque is built purely with riba money or by
borrowing the money to build it from a riba-based bank and paying it back
with interest, that has no impact on the validity of prayers offered in that
mosque.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have
mercy on him) said:

That also includes an issue that confuses some people: if
there is a man who deals with the bank or deals with other matters, the
earnings on which are haraam, then he builds a mosque or repairs a road.
Then one may ask: is it permissible for me to pray in this mosque that he
renovated with his haraam money, or to walk on that road?

We think that there is nothing wrong with praying in this
mosque, even if it was built with riba money or with other haraam earnings,
because the sin is only on the one who acquired wealth in that way. Moreover
we say: perhaps this man who built this mosque had recently repented and he
built it in order to absolve his sin and get rid of the haraam wealth. So if
we pray in the mosque and encourage him, we will be helping him in his
repentance. End quote.

Ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ ‘ala Zaad al-Mustaqni‘,
10/60.

Based on that, there is nothing wrong with you sending your
children to this school, whilst offering advice to those who established it
to repent to Allah, may He be exalted, and to strive to ensure that their
wealth and work are halaal and permissible so that Allah might bless them
for them.

And Allah knows best.
