The Ruling on Borrowing from the Funds of Guardians

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have bequests for the deceased. Is it permissible for me to borrow from them when I am in need, and is it permissible for me to lend to another person? And is there a reward for them in this?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. Bequests are established based on the condition of the bequeather; they are established based on the condition of the bequeather. If the bequeather gave permission to the one who manages it to take from it, then there is no harm. But if he did not give permission, it is not permissible. Also, the executor is a trustee and an agent, and an agent does not take for himself except with the permission of the one who trusts him.
