One who takes money and does not deliver it to its owners
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, you spoke about disputes and litigation. What is the ruling on one who takes money and does not deliver it to its owners? Is he considered a thief or a betrayer of trust? And how do we deal with him when he does not want to repent? And he does not want to admit to taking the money?
Answer:
If you have advised him and conveyed the matter to him, because this is not permissible and this is forbidden, and he did not comply, then you have absolved yourselves of responsibility, and the sin remains upon him, and the owners of the rights are the ones who demand it from him. Yes.
