The Ruling on the Disposition of Riba Money by the Poor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If the poor are given money from riba (usury or interest), is it permissible for them to dispose of it as they wish?

The Shaykh:
How?

The questioner:
If the poor are given money from riba.

The Shaykh:
They do not take it. If they know that it is riba, they do not take it, because it is forbidden haram. Yes.
