Spending on guests from another person's money in his presence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. He says: I work with a person, and all the expenses are on me, and some people come to me, so I offer them some food and some drinks, and sometimes I do this in his presence. Is there any blame on me for what I did, especially since I inform him? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If you are offering this from your own money, there is nothing wrong with it. But if you are offering it from someone else's money, you must have his permission, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
The wealth of a Muslim man is not lawful except by the willing consent of his soul.لا يحل مال امرئ مسلم إلا بطيبة من نفسه.
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 13:78
Yes.
