Using property bought with interest for prayers and other usages : using equity built through a conventional mortgage

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum, here is the situation : 2 years ago I financed a house with interest. I recently found out that I can go through the Islamic bank. The Islamic bank requires 20 % down of the value of the house. Can I use my equity that I earned for the time I lived there to use it for my deposit ? Or I have to sell it because it's Riba ? Or can you advise me of what I should do ? Thank you. Was Salamu Alaykum
