The ruling on one who eats the money of others and does not want to repent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, you spoke about disputes and litigation. What is the ruling on one who eats money and does not send it back to its owners? Is he considered a thief or one who betrays a trust? And how do we deal with him when he does not want to repent and does not want to confess to the least of the money?
Answer:
If you have advised him and conveyed the matter to him, because this is not permissible and this is forbidden, and you have not filled your own trust, the sin remains upon him, and the owners of the rights are the ones who demand it from him. Yes.
