What is the ruling on a cashier taking an excess amount from a government safe for personal use and then returning it, or lending it to another employee and then recovering it? Is it permissible to give the excess amount from the safe as charity to the poor?

The treasurer is entrusted with the money under his hand, and he must preserve this trust. The accountant or treasurer using part of the money for his personal needs or for the needs of others without permission is considered a betrayal. He must keep the surplus money until he knows the reason for the surplus, or inform the responsible authority. It is not permissible for him to take it or give it as charity except with the permission of the responsible authority.
