Disposing of interest money
Question
Are we allowed to give interest money from the bank to needy Muslims? Or is it better to give to non-muslims only?
Answer
One should dispose of it by giving it to any poor person without the intention of receiving reward.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
