The ruling on taking Interest Earnings and giving it to the Mujahidin

Question :

Is it permissible Islamically that I deposit my wealth (in a bank) and take the interest that it earns and give it to the Mujahidin, for example?

Answer:

Since it is known that these banks deal in Riba, depositing money with them involves assisting them in sin and transgression. We advise that the banks should not be dealt with. However, if the person is forced by necessity to do that and he does not find financial institution or bank that is Islamic, there is no harm in depositing the money with the banks (that deal in Riba). It is permissible for him to take this money that they pay him as a profit or interest, but he should not include it in his wealth. Rather, he should spend it in the ways of goodness, such as on the poor, the needy, the Mujahidin and others like them. That is better than him leaving it for someone who will spend it on churches and missionaries who call to disbelief and deterring others away from Islam.
