Interest money from bank.

 

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.  

 

Answer

 

The recipients of interest money are the poor and destitute. Some scholars have said that one may use the interest money to make toilets for the poor or to repay an interest based loan. However, it is preferable to give interest money to the poor without the intention of reward (thawab). (Raddul Muhtar p.553 v.9 & Jadeed Fiqhi Masaail p.406 v.1)
