Is it permissible to sell mobile phones confiscated from students in military institutes, the use of which is prohibited inside the institute, and to utilize their value in the charitable fund designated to assist the needy within the institute?
Students in institutes must adhere to conditions and commands. Punishing a transgressing student by seizing and destroying their device is not permissible, as it is a waste of money. Rather, it is more appropriate to sell the device and place its value in a fund for the needy. It is permissible to purchase these confiscated devices for those who believe that the authorities have a valid interpretation for their confiscation.
