Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person has riba (usury or interest) money, how can he get rid of it in a lawful way? Does he give it in charity to students of knowledge and the poor?
Answer:
He puts it in charitable projects to get rid of it, not because it is charity, but to dispose of it, just as lost money is put into public utilities.
