Guaranteeing a deposit if it is forgotten at the airport
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A person had a deposit with him, but he forgot it at the airport while traveling, and it was lost. Is he required to guarantee it?
Answer:
A deposit? Why would he take it to the airport? He should leave it in a safe place until he returns. He should not take it with him. By taking it with him on the trip, he exposes it to destruction, aggression, and loss.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
