It is not permissible to dispose of funds donated for a specific purpose except for that purpose, or after seeking permission from the donors. This is because if a donor intends a specific action with their donation, their intention must be respected. If their intention for the donation was to assist you in performing , then it is not permissible to spend the money on anything else unless they give permission. This is what the jurists have stipulated in similar matters.
