It is not permissible to dispose of the foundation's money without its permission, as this violates the employment contract. Allah, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Furthermore, it constitutes a betrayal of trust, as the money was given to the foundation for it to dispose of as it deems fit.
