Is the original finder (Multeqit) liable for loss of the found object if it is lost without his negligence?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Lost-and-Found Property
Primary text
The original finder has no liability (guarantee) if the found object (Luqatah) is lost without his negligence (tafrit). This is because the item is held as a trust (amanah) in his possession, similar to a deposit (wadi'ah).
