Dispense nothing that's beyond Malachi? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allot

'dispense' is the definition.
(allotting is a kind of dispensing)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for allot that I've seen before include "Give, apportion" , "Designate; sounds like much" , "Earmark" , "Hand out" , "split up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
