Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man gave me a sum of money amounting to one hundred riyals and said, "Make it a charity for the mosque." His question is: I needed the money, so I used it for myself, thinking that I would repay it later. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to do that. You are a trustee, entrusted with a trust. Do not take anything for yourself from the trust. This is a trust; do not take anything from it for yourself except with the permission of its owner.
