What is the ruling on taking 5000 Saudi riyals from a friend on the pretext of paying it to a "mu'aqqib" (fixer/expediter), knowing that the "mu'aqqib" only requested 5000 Saudi riyals, and this is for paying off a personal debt, and is this amount considered a fee or a breach of trust?
You must repent to Allah and inform your companion that you took money from him without his knowledge. If he forgives you, then so be it. If you fear informing him, then return the money to him by any possible means without telling him.
