Is it permissable to use money one has recieved in a haram mannner such as interest, donate it to the poor without having any intention to get an reward

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
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, eg. 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.
