What are the benefits of using interest money in relative girl marriage?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My brother is very poor and his health is also not good. My brother daughter marriage is planned in 02 July. My brother is not capable to do his daughter marriage by money and by health also. I want to use my interest money in this marriage .I don’t want to give him money, because he is not capable to do work. I also participate in this marriage. Can I take dinner because of this is organized by my own interest money? I use interest money to buy different things related to marriage?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 870/705/D=9/1438)

Do not arrange the food with interest money as rich and poor everyone will eat it. Yes, if you give it to some poor person and he arranges the food with this money with his consent then it shall be allowed for all to eat. The father or brother of the girl may also be poor to whom you may give the amount of interest and then he can feed on his behalf. However, the arrangement of food from girl side in which a large number of relatives and related people are invited is not correct. Moreover, if there is no capacity then indulging in such acts is more heinous. Thus you should arrange simply and avoid show. It is allowable to give the girl gift and necessary articles from interest money but not as much amount which turns her sahib-e-nisab or if she has already become sahib-e-nisab with the gift of people then too it is not correct to give her.(Fatwa: 870/705/D=9/1438)
