The answer

If your husband loses a receipt without negligence on his part, there is no sin upon him, even if that leads to the loss of its owner's right. This is because a trustworthy person is not held accountable unless he is negligent or transgresses. Negligence is the abandonment of a duty, and transgression is the commission of what is impermissible. Among acts of negligence is placing the receipt with someone who is not trustworthy. Ibn Abidin mentioned that if someone places a trust with his wife, he is not liable if she is trustworthy, but he is liable if she is not trustworthy.
