A young man who worked overtime for a person, and in each period this person gave him the full settlement after asking him how many days he had worked with him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says that a young man worked overtime for a person, and in each period this person gave him the full settlement after asking him how many days he had worked with him. Then he says: I discovered an error in the amounts I took, which were in excess, knowing that this money was spent on building a house?
The Shaykh : If the error is revealed, it is obligatory to return to the truth. It is obligatory for the one who took more than he was entitled to to return the excess to his partner. If it happens that he dies, he must return it to his heirs, because it remains a debt in his liability, and he is not absolved of it except by delivering it to the one who is entitled to it. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. This questioner from Jordan, N S R, says.
