Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Sami, asks: Is it permissible to get rid of riba money by giving it to a poor person who wants to get married, without the intention of charity?
Answer:
Yes, get rid of it by giving it to a poor person in need, whether he wants to get married or for something else, or for his maintenance, with the intention of getting rid of this money. Or put it in a general project, other than mosques, to get rid of it, not as charity. It is like lost money that has no owner; it is placed in general projects or given to a poor person. Yes.
