Dr.Monzer Kahf, a prominent economist and counselor states: It is permissible to give interests earned from unislamic sources to any charitable organization. I prefer that one should give it to an Islamic charity because that makes it reach poor Muslims who are at the present circumstances world-wide in more need than all others. Giving to public works has no priority over giving to the poor and needy.
