Using interest money to build an owl box
Question
Can a person use interest money to install an owl box and bat house on his property?
Answer
It is not permissible. Interest money should be disposed off through giving it to the poor without the intention of receiving any reward.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
