Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man deposits money with me, is it obligatory for me to return the actual money deposited, or its value and its equivalent?
Answer:
No, no, you return the actual item, the item is deposited. As for the value, that would become a purchase, it would become a sale and purchase. You do not return the value; you return the actual item. Do not deal with it; keep it in its best condition. Do not open the bag, do not open the bundles. Return it to its owner as it came to you. Yes.
