Is money spent on the value of diesel considered ongoing charity?

The questioner : All right, our Shaykh, money that is put into diesel, for example, a sum that we buy diesel with, is this considered charity money or... once it is finished, does it then become ongoing charity?

The Shaykh : As long as any money is such that the Muslims benefit from it, that is when the reward is. But if it is used up, it ends, it stops. For example, if we suppose someone bought a meter of diesel and not a drop of diesel remains, then he has benefited from it, and that is the end. As for the legal carpet...

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Carpet, or anything, like a book, for example, that is endowed for the people; as long as they benefit from it, it is ongoing charity.

The questioner : Some of the brothers, for example, want the money we give them to be ongoing charity, so out of fear that we fall into these issues...
The student : ...that it is diesel...

The Shaykh: How.
The student : This is what they want, ongoing charity.

The Shaykh : Yes.

Another questioner : One person said to me, "These one hundred dinars, put them as ongoing charity in the mosque, but do not buy diesel with them, because this is not ongoing; this is a one-time thing."

The questioner : We want to clarify...
The student : You say, "O brothers, we need money for diesel, so I will put it for you in diesel, these... for a period..."

The questioner : All right, our Shaykh, if some people, for example, put money in the bank and the interest it earns is put into diesel...

The Shaykh : No, put it in the toilet...

The questioner: Hehehe.

Another questioner: How, O Shaykh?
The student : ...Abu Ayyub.

The questioner : Yes, in the toilet.

Another questioner : In principle, is it accepted? In principle, is it accepted?

The Shaykh : Any principle?

The questioner : In principle, charity from riba, this is in principle, he takes it, meaning...

The Shaykh : What do you mean by "in principle"?

The questioner : I mean, does he take it at the beginning, or if it comes to him before he knows the ruling, for example, that it came to him?

Another questioner : I mean, in principle, if he knows that this is riba, he accepts it.

The Shaykh : He accepts it for the toilet, yes. He should advise the one who gives charity, and with his understanding that this is forbidden, and you have no reward.

The questioner : All right, Shaykh, regarding...

The Shaykh : ... .

The questioner : Our Shaykh, regarding... that it was placed in the bathroom.

The Shaykh : Yes, in the toilet.

The questioner : In the toilet, may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : No, no, or no, it is not its place, or because... meaning, there is no choice here except in the toilet.

The questioner : Now, our Shaykh, if he puts it in the toilet, meaning there is a worker who does the construction, and there is a worker who digs a hole, and there is one who does the tiling... is this taken from the reward? From the reward? And I do not know, meaning, is this...

The Shaykh : Is taken from the reward.

The questioner : His reward is taken from this money.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Like this...

The Shaykh : Yes, meaning, building the toilet and all the arrangements that come with it, all of this from the forbidden money, there is no objection.

The questioner : What is the difference between giving this money to a poor person?

The Shaykh : These are public facilities; the poor person is a specific individual.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : So public facilities mean that no specific person benefits from them.

The questioner : Yes, so the operative cause is only in distinguishing public facilities.

The Shaykh : But he is this...
