Disposing of money gained from riba (usury or interest) banks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to give away money gained from riba (usury or interest) banks as charity, or to give it to someone whose car was hit as compensation for the damage?

Answer:
As for forbidden wealth, if a Muslim repents from it and he has forbidden wealth that he has gathered from haram (forbidden) sources, he must get rid of it. He gets rid of it by placing it in a society or in what is in the category of charity, but it is only in the category of getting rid of it, like lost money. Like lost money, it is utilized in projects and societies, but it is not considered charity. It is only considered getting rid of it. Yes.
