Can interest money be used to finance the construction of latrines and toilets in mosques?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Is it possible to use the interest money to make latrines and toilets of the masjids? If not, then what will the masjid committee do with the money because a Muslim person has donated his interest money to the masjid for preparing latrines. Reply as quickly as possible because the committee wants to take quick action.

Answer

(Fatwa: 533/450/B=1433)

Interest money is haram and malicious. It should be given to very poor and needy person without the intention of reward. It is not lawful to use it in the construction of toilet and latrine of the mosque.
