Is it permissible to donate money earned from YouTube videos that contain intellectual property rights?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ill-gotten wealth is impure and must be disposed of by giving it to the poor and needy or spending it on general Muslim welfare, such as building roads, bridges, schools, and orphanages. Its possessor should not give it as charity, as he does not own it. Allah is good and accepts only what is good. Whoever disposes of it will be rewarded for their piety and compliance. Attention must be paid to the details regarding animation and intellectual property rights as mentioned in the referenced fatwas.
