Is it permissible to take a portion of the trust fund's money for medical treatment with the ability to return it later?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your job requires you to be entrusted by your employer with the money under your hand, and you must safeguard this trust (amanah); as Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due," and He Almighty says: "O you who have believed, do not betray Allah and the Messenger or betray your trusts while you know [the consequence]." Your taking anything from the till is considered a betrayal, even if you intend to return it, unless with permission from the authorized official. If you wish, seek permission from the official; if he grants you permission, then all is well, otherwise refrain from doing so, and safeguard the trust with which you have been entrusted.
