Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man parked a cart in a cemetery, and another man destroyed it unintentionally. Is the one who destroyed it required to replace it with another?

The Shaykh:
Yes, he is required to replace it with another and guarantee it, because it is property, and when property is destroyed, the one who destroyed it is liable for it.

The questioner:
He says: And what if he destroyed it without negligence?

The Shaykh:
Even if it were property, we do not look at intention in it. Property is guaranteed in all cases; we do not look at intention in it. Yes.
