Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people, when someone collides with their camel, come and cut off the brand on it so that no one knows it is their camel, so that they are not held liable for compensation. What is the advice for the one who does this?
Answer:
He must fear Allah and not drop the rights of people. This is a deception to drop the rights of people that became obligatory upon him. So he must submit to the reality of the situation and clear his conscience by what is required of him by the ruling of the Shari'ah, and not deceive to drop it. He takes the brand so that it is not known whose it is, so that what was lost from people, whether in lives or in wealth, is gone.
