The ruling on the treasurer giving charity from the money in his possession

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the hadith of Aisha, and al-Qasim’s statement to that effect, is it permissible to share the expenses from the wife’s side on the condition that there is no harm, or is it necessary to stipulate this, or must there be an order for it?

Answer:
If the treasurer has the money as a deposit, he must not dispose of it; that is, it is a trust, so it is not permissible for him to dispose of it. The treasurer referred to here is one who is like the wife, or one who has the household expenses, meaning he is in a room or a shop and is given a key, with something allocated for spending, set aside for spending on the household. It is not that there is an obstacle to giving ordinary charity from it that is not present in the household, because this is not a deposit, but rather something prepared for spending. As for the deposited money, it is a trust, and it is not permissible to dispose of it without the owner’s permission. The treasurer is of two types: a treasurer for expenses, from whom it is permissible to give charity, or a treasurer for safekeeping, from whom it is not permissible. Yes.
