The Agent Taking Money from the Funds Entrusted for Charity

Question
A person in Saudi Arabia sent (200) dinars to someone in Jordan, telling him to give it as charity. This person is poor; is it permissible for him to take from this money?
Answer

I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for him to take from it what has not been explicitly or implicitly permitted to him, and he must give it to the poor, and God knows best.
