He has an amount for the company and took it home, and it was stolen from him; is he liable for anything?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The third question: I took an amount from work, intending to return it.
The Shaykh : State your opinion.
The questioner : A specific amount from work.
The Shaykh : From work? What do you mean, from work?
The questioner : I mean, I was responsible for the cash box.
The Shaykh : Okay, go and take it out with permission.
The questioner : May you live long, the legislators.
The Shaykh : A debt to whom did you take it?
The questioner : No, no, it is with me. I took it home on the hope that I would return it tomorrow, because I am changing my location and the amount must be handed over and received. I was afraid that this amount would be stolen, so I took it with me to my house. When I arrived home, the amount was stolen from me.
The Shaykh : Maryam.
The questioner : Yes, is there anything on me, Shaykh Muhammad?
The Shaykh : Yes, you are liable for the guarantee. Because you were not given permission to carry it to your house. You were given permission by the officials to take the money out. So, if you exceeded your authority.
The questioner : I was afraid it would happen to me at work, because there is one person with you in the office.
The Shaykh : Even if, as long as the owner of the institution, for example, or the head of the department knows that the box is with everyone and its key is.
The questioner : With me.
The Shaykh : He owes nothing.
The questioner : On the last day, they said, hand this key to this person. On the last day, they said, hand this key to this person, but before the handover, there is an inventory and receipt, meaning the full amount, the office with its papers, and the amount with its contents. I took the amount because it was the most important thing, and I was at my house, so it was stolen from me at my house.
The Shaykh : The point is, you are liable for the guarantee, unless you were given permission to carry it to your house. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah make Paradise your companion.
The Shaykh : If you had permission to carry it to your house, and you carried it to your house and placed it in a safe place, there is nothing on you, O Ali.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, Shaykh Muhammad, regarding the box, I am responsible for this amount.
The Shaykh : Yes, but may Allah bless you, you are responsible for it.
The questioner : The key to the box.
The Shaykh : You were given permission.
The questioner : The right of the youth.
The Shaykh : Perhaps he wanted you to carry it to your house at that time.
The questioner : No, no, Shaykh Muhammad, I said regarding the second question: the amount belongs to the youth, and it is with me. I needed a part of the amount and used it, and I returned the amount. Is there a price on me?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible except with the permission of the rest of the youth.
The presenter : Let us inform them. Yes, may Allah reward you.
