Working in companies that may deal with some Haram : working for relief organization

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I am working one of the Relief organization and I have some concern. Please give me the answers of my questions which are according to Quran and Sunnah. 1. If organization collects some donations for emergency relief (for example they have collected funds during earthquake in Pakistan). (a) For how long they can keep those funds. (b) Can they use those funds for future rehabilitation in that area.(c) If so, in what time they have to complete those project ? 2. The person who is working in that organization know that organization holding those funds (for example five years), is his job is Halal or he is trustworthy. Is he or the organization is breaking the trust of the donors, because donor give the donation only for that emergency situation not for the project, which can be started after one or more years. 3. My job is to go out and ask the people to give the money for that organization. I know people not abuse that money but I feel that they break the trust without their knowledge. They should use that money for the said project as soon as possible. My simple question is : should I can continue my job with said organization or leave that job, because I don't feel comfortable to continue my job. Please give me answer as early as possible. Jazakum Allah Khairan for your constant help
