Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A friend entrusted me with distributing a sum of money as charity, and he knows my circumstances. I gave away half of the money, and I gave the other half to my family. Is there anything required of me in this?
Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible because you are a trustee, and a trustee does not take anything for himself or for those he supports from what he was entrusted with, but rather he executes it as his owner instructed. Yes.
