Giving debtors interest money
Question
Some people have borrowed money from me but are not repaying. Can these borrowers be given interest money I have accumulated as a replacement as I cannot keep interest money.
Answer
If they are poor, then you can give them the interest money.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
