سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ الدَّرَاهِمَ يَقْسِمُهَا وَ يَضَعُهَا فِي مَوَاضِعِهَا وَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ يَحِلُّ لَهُ الصَّدَقَةُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ كَمَا يُعْطِي غَيْرَهُ قَالَ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ إِذَا أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَضَعَهَا فِي مَوَاضِعَ مُسَمَّاةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the man who gives the Dirhams to the man to distribute these in their (appropriate) places, and he (himself) is from the ones for whom the charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) is Permissible’. There is no problem if he were to take for himself just as (what) he would be giving to the others. And it is not allowed for him than he takes when he has been instructed that he places it in a specified place, except with his (owner’s) permission’.
