I am my mother’s agent regarding her money because she is advanced in age, so is it permissible for me to take from this money for my personal expenses?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. We have a call from Abdullah Muhammad, please go ahead. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. May Allah keep you safe, Abdullah al-Mani'. May Allah bless you, O Khalid. Welcome. Do you remember, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe. Yes.

The questioner:
I say, Shaykh, my mother is ill and advanced in age, and I am her agent. Yes, that is correct. You see how it is, and may Allah keep you safe, she has, meaning, an account in the bank, and after an hour we need, meaning, to take from it to spend on ourselves and so on, is there a problem, Shaykh? There is no retirement in the bank, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Do not take from it except for spending on her specifically, but as for spending on yourselves, no, do not take anything from it for yourselves.

The presenter:
Yes. Yes. Thank you, O. May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh. Welcome.
