What to do with earned interest ? : Can interest money be given to family ?

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa Barakatuh ! I'd like to ask the following : can a female (married) give the interest she receives from her stocks / Bank Accounts to family as a help with their finances (housing, bills etc). Family means mother, unmarried sisters, sick brother, and adopted brother. Can the same married female pay her Zakah of Mal to the adopted brother's education and the sick brother's handicapped schooling. The father has passed away, and it is the unmarried sisters who are running the family. Notes : your immediate reply to the above will be highly appreciated. Best Regards

Fatwa
