Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person deposits a car with me and I leave it in the street like the other cars, and it is stolen. If a person deposits a car with me, I leave it in the street like the other cars, and it is stolen, am I liable for it?
Answer:
Yes, if it is a time when cars are stolen from the streets and you left it there, you are liable. But if it is a time when cars are not stolen because of the strength of the security, then you are not liable, because it is customary to park them at the door. However, if at certain times cars are stolen at the doors and in the streets, it is not permissible for you to leave it behind the door; you must bring it inside. Do not say, "The owner will take it with him, may Allah protect you, I cannot do it."
