Food of a person whose bank income accrues profit

Q: Zaid's uncle has a bank account in an Islamic Bank where he accrues profit.

1. Is it permissible for Zaid to eat at his uncle's house?

2. If his uncle says that the money is in his account and he hasn't used it, can Zaid eat at his uncle's house?

A: If most of his uncle's wealth and earnings are from halaal sources, then it is permissible for him to eat at his house. We do not sanction the operations and workings of any bank.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
