Is it permissible for the trustee to appoint a custodian to transfer the entrusted item without the depositor's permission?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The answer is summarized in two points:
Firstly: The trustee is not allowed to move the entrusted item from its designated place, unless the new place is equally or more secure. Otherwise, he is liable for it due to his violation of the terms of preservation.
Secondly: It is permissible to delegate another person to transport the entrusted item if there is an excuse or if it is customary to do so, as customary permission in this case is like explicit verbal permission. Some jurists differentiated between moving it from one country to another, which would incur liability, and moving it from one house to another.
