Disposing of interest money
Question
If a person gets interest money from a bank or a pension account then to whom should the interest money be given? Is it allowed to give the interest money to one's son or daughter or a relative?
Answer
No, he should dispose of it by giving it to the poor without the intention of receiving any reward.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
