Is it permissible for a trustee to invest the money of a deposit for himself?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a man places money with me as a trust and a deposit, is it permissible for me to invest this money for myself?

Answer:
No, this is a trust, and it is not permissible for you to invest it for yourself. Its produce belongs to its owner, unless he has given you permission to do so.
