Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Interest money should be disposed off by giving them to the poor and needy people, preferably Muslims. If a Muslim patient has to pay a hospital bill and he is poor and needy, interest money may be given to him to pay his bills.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
