Your friend is not permitted to increase bills, expenses, and workers' wages without your permission. If he does so, he is betraying the trust (). Allah has commanded the preservation of trusts and forbidden betrayal. An agent is not entitled to act except in a way that benefits the principal. If he causes harm to the principal, he is obligated to guarantee it.
