The answer

If a person knows that what he possesses is unlawful gains, he is obligated to dispose of it by giving it to the poor and needy, or by spending it on general Muslim welfare, such as orphanages and Quran memorization centers. He should not leave it in an account or for someone to take it unjustly. If it is given to the poor, it becomes lawful for them.
