Is it permissible to take from a charity designated "for the sake of Allah" in a case of necessity, with the intention of compensating it later?

Money is a fungible asset that is not specified by designation according to the Maliki and Shafi'i schools, and one narration from Ahmad. Therefore, the questioner may pay another ten pounds in place of the first, as there is no harm to those entitled to it. However, it is disliked to borrow from fungible assets that the borrower does not own.
