What can u do if your interest?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

The interest that the bank give u every month is possible to use it to pay traffic fines; parking; etc..

Answer

Interest monies must be given to the poor and needy who are eligible to accept Zakaat without the intention of reward. However, interest received from government institutes, e.g. post office could be used to offset government taxes. Interest received from private banks cannot be used to offset taxes. It may be used to offset interest charged from the same bank.
