Is it okay to donate money from gambling to Muslims?

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I'm half Lebanese and honestly, it's been heartbreaking watching the situation in my dad's country get worse. I haven't been in a position to help much before, just able to send a bit to family (who are Christian), but I recently won some money in a card game. With everything going on now, I really want to use this to help people there, but I'm stuck because I know gambling is haram. Most people in Lebanon are Muslim-would it be wrong or disrespectful to give this money to a charity that's providing food for Lebanese Muslims? Any advice would mean a lot. JazakAllah khair.

If the money is already won and you want to purify it, donating to a good cause is the best way. Allah knows your intention.

You're feeling guilty cause it's haram. I'd just keep it for yourself, then donate from your next paycheck.

Complicated situation, man. Good intentions don't make the money halal.

Your heart's in the right place, but honestly, best to ask a local scholar. They'd know better.

Nah, gambling earnings are impure. Don't donate that, just earn clean money later.

Maybe give it to your Christian family? Since they're not bound by the same rules? Then donate your own clean savings to charity.
