The ruling on the loss of a deposit in a place other than its proper safekeeping

The questioner : Yes. A man deposited a deposit and placed it in a place accessible to thieves to expose the washer, for example, he left the money in the washer and it was lost in the washer?

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : It is like placing the money in the washer and hiding the clothes on top of it, or in the refrigerator, for example, and hiding the remote control on top of it. Yes.

The Shaykh : That is, if he preserved it in a manner other than its proper preservation such that it exposes the thief, do you see if he left the box open and said, "I will expose the thief," because if he knows it is open, he will say, "There is nothing of value in it"? It is not of value; he is required to preserve it in a safekeeping appropriate for it, and if it is stolen from a safekeeping appropriate for it, let him be exonerated by an oath.
