The answer

There is no objection to establishing a project for poor families using funds generated from usurious interest, and there is no objection to participating in it. This is because the prohibition of usurious interest does not extend to the poor who receive it as a means of disposing of it. The money does not become unlawful for them; rather, it is lawful and good.
