Disposing of a trust

Q: Someone entrusted me with a sum of money for one year but I used to spend some of it. Let us assume I was entrusted with 1,000 Riyals. During that year when I was in dire need of money during any month, I would take 100 Riyals from this trust and repay it when I was paid. Is there any sin on me? Please enlighten me. May Allah reward you well and let you benefit others!

A: It is not permissible to take anything from a trust. You should ask for Allah's Forgiveness and perform Tawbah (repentance to Allah) for your past deeds. Any amount you have taken should be replaced. However, if the owner of the money permits you to take something from it, you should take and repay whatever you have taken.
