The Ruling on Trusts That Could Not Be Delivered During Travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I was invited to travel to a country to seek a livelihood, and the people of my village sent me with some trusts, including letters and some food. I promised them that I would deliver them to them. While I was on my way to this country, passing through another country, Allah granted me good work in both religion and wealth. I was unable to deliver them in any way, so what is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh : As for the letters, you can send them to them by post. As for the food with you, eat it comfortably and send its value to its owners.
The questioner : Okay, there are many letters, and among them are tapes.
The Shaykh : I did not understand.
The questioner : There are many letters.
The presenter : You are welcome.
The questioner : There are tapes, recording tapes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Reminders.
The Shaykh : Tapes, understood? Yes.
The questioner : And many letters.
The Shaykh : Ah.
The questioner : So what should he do? I do not know their addresses in the newspaper.
The Shaykh : I am like you, I do not know either. But you are asking me a legal question and I have answered you. As for how to go about it, I am like you and do not know.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you.
The questioner : Decision.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Yes, my professor.
