Returning the specific deposited money or its value
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man deposits money with me, is it obligatory for me to return the specific money that was deposited, or its value and its equivalent?
Answer:
No, you return the specific item that was deposited. What is this value? It becomes a purchase, it becomes buying and selling. You do not return the value; you return the specific item as it is. Do not dispose of it; keep it in its condition. Do not open the bag, and do not untie the bundle. Return it to its owner as it came to you. Yes.
