Is it permissible to use the surplus from the European Union grant, allocated for painting and youth employment, in a charitable income-generating project for the association, given that there is a contract obligating expenditure solely for the purposes for which the grant was designated?

If there is a contract with the granting body that the grant is not to be disbursed except for what it was designated for, then it is not permissible to exceed the condition unless with the permission of the granting body; due to the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Therefore, one can refer to the granting body and inform them about the project. If they agree to disburse the surplus for it, then there is no harm; otherwise, it is not permissible.
