Paying speeding fines with interest money

Q: My daughter is a university student and has accrued traffic fines which she was not aware of. It is only now almost a year late when I called I found out of 40 outstanding fines. The manner in which I found out was unfair. It's too late to apply for a discount. Can I pay with interest money?

A: According to some Ulama' it is permissible to use interest money for paying speeding fines.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
