Responsa על בבא מציעא 114:6
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A promised ten marks to charity. He gave the money to B for investment purposes on condition that B pay to the poor of a certain community ten quarter-marks per year.
A. B should not give the ten quarter-marks to the poor of that community, since it would constitute unlawful usury. If, however, B earned profit with the ten marks, he must give part of the profit to the poor of another city, since one is not permitted to profit from charity money.
SOURCES: Pr. 999.
