The answer

If the unlawful money in question is a student loan, we have previously clarified its ruling. However, if it was acquired through unlawful means, such as usurious interest, then its disbursements are for the poor and needy Muslims and general charitable causes. Therefore, if you are poor and in need of funding for your studies that you cannot afford, it is permissible for you to spend from this money to the extent of your need.
