Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman who says: A poor woman was given a slaughtered sheep by another woman, and she was told to take some for herself and give the rest in charity to those in need. The poor woman put the meat in the refrigerator. The refrigerator broke down and the meat spoiled. Her question is: Is she liable for that meat?
Answer:
No, she did not cause it; she did not cause it, and it was not due to her action. This was a power outage, and it was not due to her action. She is not liable for it,[At-Tawbah 9:91]. Yes.
