Can You Hope for Reward When Giving Out Haraam Money in Charity?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: We have been told that if a person somehow gets ribaa money in his possession, he may get rid of it by giving it out in charity without the intention of receiving any reward. My question is: When giving this haraam money out in charity, is it permitted for him to hope for reward due to the fact that he is cleansing his wealth from haraam ribaa money, and not due to the fact that he’s giving charity?

Bismillaah

A: It is permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
