If not permissible, can they be distributed to orphans and the poor, or used for health aid or endowments?

There is no harm in benefiting from money acquired before knowing its prohibition, in all permissible ways of benefit, based on the Almighty's saying: "So for him is what has passed." As for what was acquired after knowing its prohibition, it must be disposed of by giving it to the poor and the needy.
