If the ninety thousand is not part of your capital and you are able to obtain it, then dispose of the entire amount by spending it on the welfare of Muslims, as it is unlawful wealth. However, if the amount includes your capital, or if you are unable to obtain it, then take your capital amount and dispose of the remainder by spending it on the welfare of Muslims, and the profits generated from this amount are yours.
