What is the legal status of property belonging to a bankrupt person (*muflis*) that is lost while in the possession of a trustee (*ameen*)?

Primary text

If any property of the bankrupt is lost while in the possession of a trustee, or if any part of his property is sold and the price deposited, and that price is subsequently lost while held by the depositor, the loss falls under the responsibility (*daman*) of the bankrupt. This ruling is affirmed by Al-Shafi'i. The basis for this is that the property and any growth derived from it belong to the bankrupt; therefore, its destruction must also be borne by his estate, similar to general merchandise (*urud*).
