Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Turki asking, and he says: May Allah bless you. Is it permissible for me to give charity from my elderly mother's money, intending it to be on her behalf, while she is unaware of it?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you. You must preserve it, because she has become under guardianship, so her money is to be preserved. If Allah heals her, she will dispose of it as she wishes. If she passes away, it belongs to her heirs. Yes.
