Dealing with Debt

Question
A person needs money for a surgical operation, so he asked someone and took the money from him, and the operation was postponed for a month. Is it permissible to use the money for something else until the operation comes?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: it should not be used for anything else; because the money was given for the operation only, so the money should not be used except after permission, and God knows best.
