Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I partnered with a person in a business. He paid me an amount to buy a commodity, and before I did so, the amount was stolen from my car without any negligence on my part. What is the ruling in this case?

Answer:
Repeat the question? He says: May Allah reward you, I partnered with a person in a business. In a business, yes. He paid me an amount to buy a commodity, and before I did so, the amount was stolen from my car without any negligence on my part. You are an agent, and you were entrusted to buy a car for him, and the money was stolen without any negligence on your part, so you owe nothing, because he entrusted you with this and you did not neglect it. Yes. This is a dispute; it may have been a case of talk if it did not happen, but if it is hypothetical, yes. But in reality, they must go to the court. I mean, some people twist the truth and ask you, wanting you to answer according to their wishes, then they go and say so-and-so said this. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Do not ask about it, and do not ask about disputes. Yes.
