Profit from Trust Money
A person entrusted money to another, and the second person placed it in a pilgrimage fund to preserve the money and earn a share from the fund. What is the ruling on that? Can he dispose of the profits? And what is the zakat on this profit money?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: In this case, the depositor becomes a guarantor for his transgression in safeguarding and managing the money, and he will be sinful. The profits he earns will be considered illicit gains due to the lack of permission from the owner of the money, and he must give it in charity. And God knows best.
