The answer

Usurious gains must be disposed of by spending them on general Muslim welfare, such as schools, hospitals, and the poor. If the unlawful money is known, it must be disposed of specifically. If it is mixed with lawful money, an equivalent amount from the mixed money must be given out. When spending this money, the intention should be to dispose of it, not to give charity, because it is illicit money, and Allah is good and accepts only what is good. It is not permissible to give a lawful computer device in lieu of usurious gains, even if their values are equal.
