Guaranteeing deposited gold if it is stolen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I deposited gold with a relative of mine, and she placed it in the wardrobe of the bedroom. Then I traveled to al-Qasim for three days, and the gold was stolen. Note that the inner door of their house was made of wood, and the thief broke it. Do I have to guarantee it?
Answer:
This is a matter for the judge; it is a dispute before the judge, and we do not know the circumstances or the details. Yes. Did he secure this person’s trust? It does not require intellect; if he did so, peace and blessings be upon him, that is sufficient. By right, this is not a matter of trust, there is no doubt, if Allah wills. Yes.
