The Obligation to Preserve Trusts and the Caution Against Neglecting Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Another questioner asks: What is the ruling on being negligent in fulfilling general and specific trusts, may Allah protect you, especially regarding children and the family in the home?
Answer:
A trust is a heavy burden, and one will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever neglects it will be questioned about it, and it will be demanded that he fulfill it on the Day of Resurrection. If he betrayed it and neglected it, he will be required to fulfill it on the Day of Resurrection, and he will not be able to do so. This is an increase in his torment, may Allah protect us from that.
And whoever is entrusted with something must fulfill the trust. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And in the Qur'an, Allah the Exalted says: [An-Nisa 4:58].
It commands you[An-Nisa 4:58] The greatest of trusts is what is between the servant and his Lord, in the form of prayers, obligatory duties, and avoiding what is forbidden. The entire religion is a trust between the servant and his Lord. Preserve your religion. Yes.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَاIt commands you
to render trusts to whom they are due
