Can I give interest monies to my needy sister?
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
