Paying speeding fines with interest money
Question
My daughter is a university student and has accrued traffic fines which she was not aware of. It is only now almost a year late when I called I found out of 40 outstanding fines. The manner in which I found out was unfair. It's too late to apply for a discount. Can I pay with interest money?
Answer
According to some Ulama' it is permissible to use interest money for paying speeding fines.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
