Question

1. Recently we moved to Frankfurt. Here there are 2 Muslim groups who conduct Eid milaaps, meetups, etc. One of the group wanted to build a website and I offered my help in building the website and also took hosting for 1 year. I wanted to know the amount that I have paid. I want to use my interest money, since it is more a website and not related to Masjid. So i want to confirm can I use my interest money to pay off the hosting fees of the website, which is used to convey meetups, eidmilaaps, other programs and they do not have any money. All are using their pocket monies for these meetups, no sponsors etc. 2. Similarly can i use my interest money to pay for a website hosting which is used to convey about free child education, scholarships, meals, etc. This is also meant for charity for Muslim people, but the website is meant only for communication. And can we use interest money to pay for that website as this is NGO and poor. I am not expecting any reward for these, but just wanted to confirm if i can use it or not.

Answer

It is not permissible to use the haraam interest money for any of the projects mentioned to assist any project which is in conflict with the Shariah as the one mentioned in No.1 above.
