We have previously clarified the impermissibility of the interest accrued from savings accounts in post offices, and the obligation to dispose of it by spending it on charitable causes or giving it to needy relatives. Therefore, it is not permissible to purchase a water heater for oneself with this interest, but it is permissible to purchase it for some needy relatives or neighbors.
