Giving charity from the expenses of orphans
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. Does the presence of holes in the trust affect the fact that he takes advantage of their negligence? He has children, some of whom have reached puberty and some have not. And when it comes to charity and giving, there is no one among them who is trustworthy. So he says: When I want to give charity or make a donation, I have nothing to give with except the money of these orphans. I have no personal property other than this monthly allowance. Is it permissible for me to give charity and make donations from the orphans' allowance?
Answer:
No, you may not give charity from what reduces the orphans' allowance. It is not permissible to use the orphans' money, because it is obligatory to protect the orphans' money and spend from it on them. However, if a person comes asking and you give him a small amount, there is nothing wrong with that. As for giving a large amount, or your share and your money, give charity from that.
