Taking from the relief for those affected by the cold who are not themselves affected

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says: We praise Allah, Exalted and Majestic, who granted success to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in providing relief to some of those affected by the cold. He sent an order, may Allah preserve him, for immediate relief, and it has reached our country, praise and thanks be to Allah. His question is: Am I allowed to take from the heaters, blankets, and the like, even though I am not among those affected by the cold?

Answer:
This is according to the King’s directive regarding this relief. If he designated it for those affected and those in need, and you are neither in need nor affected, it is not permissible for you to take from it. This is the reality: it is designated for those affected and those in need. As for a person who is not in need, it is not permissible for him to take from it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
