Question:
This is Umm Zaher saying: Honorable Shaykh, we have a female relative who is elderly and religious. We have taken from her money to spend on her without informing her and without her knowing. Is that permissible, and what is required of us regarding this money? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is permissible for you to do so only with a legal agency. If she is not capable of managing her affairs and does not have sound judgment, you must obtain an agency from the judge regarding her money and spend from her money on her. The agency is necessary in this case. Yes.
