Is it permissible to charge the company for the cost of a computer that was lost from a company car by claiming additional work hours without the employer's knowledge, especially after it was decided that the driver would bear part of the responsibility but he denied it, and the employer delayed in deducting the cost from him?

It is not permissible to charge the driver or the company the value of the device if it is not proven that he took it or caused its loss, as that is consuming people's wealth unjustly. If the manager deducted half the value of the device from the driver's salary, it is not lawful for you to take it, and it must be returned to him, because it was taken from him without right, due to the absence of any of the reasons for liability, which are: direct destruction, causing damage, or untrustworthy possession.
