Is it permissible for a person who has paid the full amount for an ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) for a water connection to then inform others later to participate, and after collecting from them an amount less than what he paid, should he donate the collected amount to another cause to complete the costs of the ongoing charity?
