Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a father steals from the property of... , if it was a loan belonging to a person.
The Shaykh : If it was what?
The questioner : If it was a loan in his possession, the money is not the son's property, but he has the right to dispose of it.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right. It appears that his hand is not cut off in this case, meaning if the money belongs to someone other than the son but is in his possession, it appears that his hand is not cut off, because the father usually does not have the son's money secured against him. However, if it is secured, his hand is cut off, because the money belongs to someone other than the son.
The questioner : And if the father knew?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : If the father knew that the money did not belong to his son, but it was in his possession?
The Shaykh : It is all the same. As long as this father stole money belonging to someone other than his son from his son, and it was secured, his hand is cut off.
The questioner : Shaykh... a doubt.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : If he did not know that it belonged to someone other than his son.
The Shaykh : He was required to stop.

The Shaykh : He was required to stop and ask.
