Using Charity Funds Before Receiving Them

Question

I am getting married with G-d's help, and the yeshiva is supposed to transfer money to me for purchasing clothing. The question is whether I can use my personal money in anticipation of these funds, and then when the money arrives, it will be considered a repayment of the loan I gave to charity.

Answer

Hello,

You may use your money as a 'loan' to charity.
