Question
[I don't want to write details, I will use 'Kupat Ha'ir' as an example, and the question will be understood.] I occasionally put money into the charity fund of 'Kupat Ha'ir'. A nice sum has accumulated there. Now 'Kupat Ha'ir' is holding a 'Chinese auction'. Can I buy tickets with the money accumulated in this charity fund?
Answer
Hello,
Once you have given the money to charity, it belongs to the fund, and you cannot buy anything with it.
What you can do when you know there will be a raffle is to put the money in the fund with the intention of buying tickets later.
