Ruling on Spending on the Household from Orphan Sponsorship
A woman whose husband is imprisoned has a small son, who is sponsored by an organization for orphan sponsorship. This organization provides money for the child, but his mother spends this money on the household, not just on the child. Is it permissible to spend on the household from the funds of orphan sponsorship or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The child lives in this house, and the house needs expenses to provide care for the child, so it is permissible to spend money on the house; because it is part of the child's expenses, and God knows best.
