Is the claimant entitled to seek compensation for his curtains that were burned in a fire at the curtain maker's shop?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The shared employee is a craftsman who works for more than one person at a time. He is not liable for what is damaged in his care without his action, provided there was no negligence on his part, because he is entrusted with the property, and a trustee is not liable except in cases of transgression or neglect. So, if the premises burned down without negligence from its owner, there is no compensation due from the employee.
