Disposing of interest money : giving interest money to indebted husband

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I would be most grateful if you could help me with my question. I earn a good salary but my husband salary is very small. I have a separate account for interest not to get mixed up with the my money that I use for my family. Over the years I have given this interest money to the poor and to charity. My question is : can I give this money to my husband who is in debt and owes money to the bank. Or can I give it to my husband family (and other relatives) who are not too poor but struggling e.g., with college fees for his brothers and sisters. Finally can I use this interest money to pay for interest to the bank eg credit cards interest, car load interest, etc. Thank you very much. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
