Question:
Asalaamualaikum
Can I give away my interest money to my sister who is down and out? She does not have any source of income what so ever?
Jazakallah
Answer:
If she is poor and needy, she may be given interest monies. The donor should not expect any reward (Ajar/Thawaab) for giving it to her.
And Allah knows best
