The questioner:
Naturally, taking a fee for deposits, especially if he is speaking about locks and strongboxes.
The Shaykh:
If he takes a fee, he becomes a paid custodian who is liable. By taking a fee for it, he becomes a hired custodian who keeps it, so if it is lost, he is liable for it. Yes.
The questioner:
We can express it.
The Shaykh:
It is permissible, as long as it does not become a deposit but rather a paid custodianship. Yes, we do not call it a deposit; it becomes a hire. Yes.
