אם כן ליתני מפני החשד מאי מפני שמעביר על דעתו של בעל הבית שמע מינה משום דשני הוא וכל המעביר על דעת של בעל הבית נקרא גזלן
and the poor may not buy [even] shoestraps therewith, unless it was stipulated in the presence of the members of the community [that such shall be permitted]: this is the ruling of R. Jacob, stated on R. Meir's authority; but R. Simeon b. Gamaliel is lenient [in the matter].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is assumed that the reason of R. Meir's stringency is that the poor, by disregarding the donor's wish, become robbers, and therefore all such diversions are forbidden. ');"><sup>10</sup></span>
Tosefta Megillah
The collection of Purim is designated for Purim and the collection of a city is designated for that city. One is not frugal with the collection of Purim, rather we buy with it calves and slaughter and eat them. The extra money should (not) be added to the general charity fund. Rabbi Akiva said "The collection of Purim should not be used to buy a shoe lace for a poor person."
