Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man gave another man a trust to carry for him during Hajj until he returned from performing some of the rites. It was stolen from that man. Is he liable for it and must he return it to him? If he was negligent in safeguarding it
Answer:
and left it exposed to theft, then he is liable. But if he was careful, secured it, and had control over it, yet the security was breached and it was taken, he is not liable because he did not fall short.
