A Woman Taking Charity from Her Brother for Herself
A woman in need of money asked her brother for charity for others, but she intends to keep it for herself. What is the ruling on her action?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to use charity meant for others for yourself; because you are a representative and a trustee, and it is not permissible to betray the trust. And God knows best.
