Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man asked one of the benefactors for assistance for a poor person, so he gave him a check in the poor person's name. Is it permissible for him to divide the amount between the poor person and his brother?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible, because the owner of the money allocated it specifically for the poor person, so it is not permissible to take from the poor person and give it to someone else.
