Is it permissible to give usurious money in charity by buying clothes with it and then donating them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to deposit money in interest-bearing banks. And whoever has done so out of heedlessness or necessity, must dispose of the usurious gains by spending them on charitable causes, not as an act of charity, because charity must come from pure wealth. It is not permissible to buy clothes with this money, because it does not belong to you, and the poor person may be in need of it for other matters such as food, medical treatment, or housing.
