Is it permissible to borrow usurious money (thirty thousand Egyptian pounds) and give it to someone in distress to establish a dwelling, on condition that he returns it as is to the owner of the money?
It is obligatory to dispose of usurious gains by spending them on charitable causes, not with the intention of giving charity, but with the intention of ridding oneself of unlawful wealth. It is not permissible to lend this unlawful money because it does not belong to the one who possesses it; rather, it is more appropriate to give it to those in need.
