Rulings on locals taking some of the Mus-hafs that the state distributes to the pilgrims
Question

                The state distributes Mus-hafs to the pilgrims, but some locals take them and distribute them to their relatives and friends. What is the ruling on taking these Mus-hafs?.
Praise be to Allah.
    It is not permissible to take the Mus-hafs which are 
    allocated for distribution to the pilgrims by the relevant department, 
    because this is defeating the purpose, which is to supply the pilgrims with 
    the Book of Allaah, because it may not be possible to obtain them at any 
    other time, and because these Mus-hafs are a waqf which is to be distributed 
    in the specified manner, and it is not permissible to divert the waqf in any 
    way other than that which has been specified. And because you can obtain 
    Mus-hafs from the Department which distributes them to locals. And Allaah is 
    the source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our prophet 
    Muhammad and his family and Companions.
