Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuhu
JazakAllah for your question.
In principle, it is permissible for one to dispense interest funds to a Muslim who is a valid recipient of Zakat.
Kindly refer to Fatwa 21518 on dispensation of interest monies.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
