It is permissible for you to give Sadaqah from money you have borrowed, because you possess it. The conditions for the permissibility of giving Sadaqah from it are that you have a strong expectation of repaying your debt, and that you do not need this money for your own expenses, nor for the expenses of those whose maintenance is obligatory upon you.
