There is nothing wrong with that, if you trust him and give him your money to send to your children or to your country. Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Baqarah 2:283].

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if you trust him and give him your money to send to your children or to your country. Allah the Exalted says:
And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allah, his Lord.
فَإِنْ أَمِنَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا فَلْيُؤَدِّ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنَ أَمَانَتَهُ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ
