Who is entitled to the money we receive in interest from banks?
Al-jawaab
billaahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah Taa’la's guidance)
You must get rid of interest money
as soon as possible WITHOUT
the Niyyah of getting Thawaab, but, rather getting rid of Haraam! You MUST not
under any circumstance give that money to Muslims, however, I would suggest to
give it to non-Muslim charities, or some worthy cause such as British
Heart Foundation & Cancer Research, etc. So, to sum it all up you
are recommend that this money is given to a charitable cause with the
understanding that you will not receive any reward for the donation. The
money should be used by the charitable organisation to help the poor and needy,
but is not to be used for certain projects such as the construction of
Masaajid, Madaaris, etc.
(VERILY, ALLAH
TAA’LA IS ALL-KNOWING!)
