The answer

The Mufti does not rule on disputes and litigations; rather, this is the purview of the Sharia courts, due to their ability to hear from the parties to the dispute and issue judgments based on claims, evidence, and defenses. It has been our practice on this website to refer the questioner to the Sharia judiciary in matters of dispute.

Generally, an agent entrusted with delivering funds is considered trustworthy and is not liable for fines or similar penalties unless he exceeds his authority or is negligent. Ibn Qudamah stated that an agent is trustworthy and is not liable for what perishes under his hand without negligence.
