Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I gave a man money as a trust in his possession, and he gave it to my father, saying, “You and your wealth belong to your father.” Did he fulfill the trust?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I gave a man money as a trust in his possession, and he gave it to my father, saying, “You and your wealth belong to your father.”
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for him to give it to your father unless the father requests it. If the father requests it, there is no harm. But for him to go and give it to the father, saying, “You and your wealth belong to your father,” this is not permissible. He is required to return the trust to the one who gave it to him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
