The Mother's Spending of Her Orphans' Money on Herself
A widow has a young son and daughter, and people give her money for her children. Is it permissible for her to take some of this money and buy clothes or other things for herself? Does this make her a consumer of the orphans' wealth?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It appears that the money is given to her and her children for their maintenance, so it is permissible for her to benefit from it as she said, and God knows best.
