Spending ill-gotten wealth—including bank interest—should be for general Muslim welfare or for the poor and needy. Therefore, do not pay this interest to your aunt for her Hajj, as this is not among its legitimate expenditures. As for paying zakat money to her for this purpose, there is a difference of opinion among scholars, and the majority prohibit it.
