Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My father is ill with cancer, may Allah protect us and you. At the beginning of the illness, he says he gave me the freedom to dispose of his wealth and to manage the house and its expenses. So, is it permissible for me to give charity from his wealth on his behalf?
Answer:
First of all, this guardianship must come from the court. You must go and return it to the court. If the judge issues a document granting you guardianship, there is no objection. But for you to become an agent without a document from the court, no. That does not become valid. Yes.
