Spending money entrusted to one in purchasing books

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers gave me money, twenty riyals, and said, “Spend it in whatever good cause you see fit.” So I took it and bought books with it. Is that permissible?

Answer:
May Allah keep you safe. No, no, it is not appropriate. Take the money he gave you and give it to the poor and the needy.
