Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the goods are damaged in the hands of the agent without any negligence on his part, and he wants to guarantee them for the principal, is that permissible?
Answer:
He wants to give it to him as a gift, which is contrary to the ruling. This is a gift. If he says, "By Allah, you are poor and your goods were lost, so this is a loss for you," then it is from the perspective of assistance, not obligation. As for it being obligatory, no.
