The answer

It is not permissible to dispose of usurious interest by spending it on one's parents, unless they are poor and the son is unable to provide for them. However, if the father is not in need and has sufficient income, it is not permissible to give him usurious interest, and his mismanagement of spending and finances is not a justification for doing so.
