Repairing the Borrowed Device That Was Damaged During Use
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I lent a person an electrical device, and the device was damaged when he used it. I asked the borrower to repair it, and he agreed and did so. Is there anything required of me? Because the borrower is not liable for guaranteeing it, and I guaranteed it for him?
Answer:
However, he did so of his own accord; I did not compel him, but rather he did it for his own benefit, so there is no harm in that. As for compelling him, you do not compel him. Yes.
