Good Deed: #144 Give sadaqah from halaal sources

1000 Good Deeds Dilemma: You go to your bank and you see you have $1000 dollars worth of interest money accumulated. You decide to donate it to muslim orphans as sadaqah. Can you do this?

2:276 (Y. Ali) Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked.

Abu Hurairah (r.a.) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said, “If one gives in charity what equals one date-fruit from the honestly earned money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money Allah takes it in His Right (hand). And then, enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his baby horse, so much so that it becomes as big as a mountain.” (Bukhari, Vol. 2, Hadith 491)
