Guaranteeing Lost Property Due to Coercion

The questioner:
The questioner Abu Muhammad from Tabuk says: If a person is coerced into destroying another person’s property, who is liable for the compensation?
The Shaykh:
If the coerced person is of legal age and sound mind, the one who directly caused the destruction is liable for the compensation. However, if the one who caused the destruction is not of legal age or sound mind, such as a child or a person of unsound mind, the liability falls upon the one who coerced him.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh Salih, this person is asking. It is not permissible, meaning
The Shaykh:
He says: I am forced; because coercion is not removed by harming another, nor is harm to him removed by harming another.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
