Using the funds for breaking the fast of fasting people to print publications

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We carry out a project to break the fast of fasting people during the month of Ramadan, and we collect donations for it. We need to print publications for this project to support it. So, may we take from the funds for breaking the fast, or not?

Answer:
I do not ask any of the benefactors to cover the costs of the publications. Rather, ask one of the donors to cover the cost of the publications, and do not take from what is donated for breaking the fast of the fasting person; because it was specified for that purpose, so it is not to be spent on anything else. Either you yourselves cover the cost of printing the publications from your own funds, or you ask one of the benefactors, stating to him: “We need publications, and we want you to donate the cost of them.” I advise the brothers who are breaking the fast of fasting people not to collect a large amount of money, because it has been reported to us that a large amount of money remains with them, and then they are embarrassed about what to spend it on. So, take only what is sufficient to break the fast of the fasting people from the beginning of the month to the end, and do not exceed that. Yes.
