Is it permissible to account for hospitality and other expenses of a commercial shop from the shop's funds, in which orphans have a share, without their knowledge?
Hospitality in a commercial establishment has two scenarios: The first is when it benefits the establishment as a form of advertising, provided that the benefit outweighs the cost of the hospitality and there is no less expensive alternative. The second is when the hospitality does not benefit the establishment, such as when the guests are your personal guests. In this case, it is not permissible to host them using the establishment's funds unless that cost is deducted from your share and not from the share of the minors, as the fundamental principle is that dealing with the funds of minors is based on their benefit.
