Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Ibrahim from Yemen says: A brother of mine, a man of good character, entrusted me with some money to keep for him because he resides in another place. If I need this money that belongs to my brother, is it permissible for me to spend some of it and then repay it without my brother’s knowledge?
Answer:
It is not permissible. This is a trust in your possession. You are required to preserve it for your brother, and you must not take anything from it except with his permission. Yes.
