سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أُتِيَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ فَسَادٍ لَمْ يُؤَاخِذْهُ اللَّهُ [عَلَيْهِ] إِذَا عَلِمَ بِنِيَّتِهِ [الْأَدَاءَ] إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ لَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ عَنْ أَمَانَتِهِ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ السَّارِقِ وَ كَذَلِكَ الزَّكَاةُ أَيْضاً وَ كَذَلِكَ مَنِ اسْتَحَلَّ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِمُهُورِ النِّسَاءِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Nazar Bin Shuayb, from Abdul Ghaffar Al Jaazy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who died and upon him were debts. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it came into his hands without corruption, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will not Seize him when He<sup>azwj</sup> Knows of his intention of the payment of it, except for the one who did not have the intention of paying from his entrustments, so he would be at the status of the thief; and similar to that is the Zakat as well, and similar to that is the one who permits himself to go away with the dowries of the women’.
