Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person entrusted me with ten thousand riyals to be used for the construction of a mosque. I kept it in my house for three days and did not find the time to deposit it in the bank. On the third day, the house was robbed, and these ten thousand riyals were stolen from the bedroom. The question is: Am I liable for these ten thousand riyals or not?
Answer:
No, as long as you kept it with your own property and everything was stolen, you did not separate it, and you are not liable.
