The agent taking from the charity for himself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
For the sake of Allah, I went to a person and informed him that there is a needy person, that there is a needy and poor person, and I intended by that needy person myself. Is it permissible for me to take from this charity that he gave me?
Answer:
Yes, because he is the agent for this. You give him the person you mentioned. You are the agent now, and you do not act as an agent for yourself; rather, you act as an agent for another. So you must inform the owner of the money, saying, "I am the one who needs it, and I am the one who is sitting." There is no harm in that. However, if you deceive him under the guise of agency to give it to yourself, that is not permissible. Yes.
