Ruling on the deposit that wears out while with the deposit holder

Q 6: What is the ruling on a trust that is damaged while being in the care of a person? Is the entrusted person required to pay its value to its owner?

A: It is not permissible for a person to dispose of a trust left in their care, unless they take the permission of its owner, whether clearly expressed or implied. There is nothing due on the entrusted person if the entrusted item is damaged unintentionally. On the other hand, if it is damaged intentionally by the entrusted person, they should bring a similar item if possible. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
