Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man deposited a sum of money with me as a trust, and he will take it later. His question is: Is it permissible for me to use this money and take it, and then return it to him at the specified time?
Answer:
No, do not take it without his permission. Ask him for permission and say to him, “Lend me the money that is with me, and I will return it to you.” If he gives permission, there is no harm. Yes.
