Question:
Is he to be compared to the ruler who has money and the rich people have entrusted him with it to distribute it for the needs of the people? Are his actions in charitable works like those of the ruler in this matter, even though he is not the general ruler?
Answer:
He is like the ruler, but if dire necessity calls for it, he asks: for himself or for someone else.
Q: The money is not this man's money, but it is the people's money?
A: Even so, he does not ask except in cases of need and dire necessity.
