There are orphans who receive foodstuffs from people of good, so is it permissible for them to donate them if they fear they will spoil?
The Shaykh:
If they are entitled to receive them, they own them and may dispose of them as they wish. If they own them, they may dispose of them. However, if they are not entitled to receive them because they have enough, it is not permissible for them to take the charity, and consequently, it is not permissible to dispose of them, because taking them is not permissible in the first place.
