The ruling on taking from a trust without the owner's knowledge

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. A person has a trust of money, and he took from it without the owner's knowledge. Does he commit a sin, if he returns it at the proper time? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
A trust must be preserved, and it is not permissible to take from it except with the owner's permission. Otherwise, the trust must be kept safe, and one must not take anything from it, even by way of a loan, without the owner's permission. This is based on the saying of the Exalted and Majestic: . And the Exalted and Majestic says: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due." The trust is a deposit, and it must be preserved. It is not permissible to dispose of it except with the owner's permission. So you erred in taking from it, even by way of a loan. It is obligatory for you to return the amount to its place and to preserve this trust until you deliver it to its owner. Yes.
