Is it permissible for me to dispose of my sick mother's gold to meet my needs and debts, given her inability to grant permission and the impossibility of seeking permission from her heirs?

This gold, owned by your ailing mother, is a trust in your possession, and you are not permitted to dispose of it. This is because it has not yet left her ownership, and the property of an inheritor does not transfer to the heir until death has occurred.
