The Ruling on a Trustee Exceeding His Authority in Funds Collected for the Poor

Question : Yes, and he has exceeded his authority. If he distributes them, he is liable to pay them to the poor for whom they were collected.

Answer : Whether for the poor or for a specific person? He is exceeding his authority. How? His mere handling of them is considered [exceeding his authority], even if he borrows them from the market to pay them in his house. For example, he might buy a commodity from the market, and he was given one hundred riyals for this charitable fund, so he takes out its food and drink, which he has no right to do. He should leave it with him as a deposit. No, no, he is a trustee, there is no doubt.
