The Ruling on Spending Donated Money for Purposes Other than Those for Which It Was Collected
A group of women collected an amount of money to build a well in memory of their friend; however, the money was not enough because the well is costly. Is it permissible to donate the money they collected for another charity, such as distributing water in a mosque or something similar?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: They can donate money for ongoing charity, such as teaching students of knowledge, which has great reward and merit, and God knows best.
