If a person gives his zakah to someone to distribute it, and then it is stolen from that person, what is the ruling?

Question : If a person gives his zakah to someone on the condition that he distribute it,

Answer : and then it is stolen from that person, the owner is required to pay the zakah again. Does the agent bear liability or not? This depends on whether there was negligence or not. Do you understand, everyone? I gave you a thousand riyals and said, "This is my zakah, distribute it," and then this zakah was stolen. Is it obligatory for the one who gave it to pay a replacement for it? Yes, it is obligatory; he must pay a replacement for it, because the agent here is not an agent for the poor, but an agent for the owner. Does the one from whom it was stolen bear liability? We say that if he transgressed or was negligent, he bears liability; otherwise, there is no liability. Yes.
