according to one of his two views as well. As for a non-Muslim living under Muslim protection who shelters those at war with the Muslims or assists them against the Muslims, he has broken his covenant, and his life and property become forfeit. The authorities must not leave such people, who cannot be trusted where Muslims are concerned, in a place where they are feared to pose a danger to Muslims or where Muslim children are brought to them; for he has broken his covenant, and his life and property become forfeit.

He was asked:

About a deposit entrusted in a sealed bag whose contents the custodian neither knew nor inspected. The depositor stated that it contained fifteen hundred and three tafāsīl. The deposit was lost along with some other belongings. When it was lost, its owner said, “It contained something worth seven thousand.” Must the custodian pay compensation for what the owner initially stated, or for what he stated later?

He replied:

If it was lost without negligence or wrongdoing on his part, he is not liable to compensate for it. This is all the more so if it was lost along with his own property. If he claims that the loss occurred through an evident, known cause, he is required to produce evidence, and his account is accepted.
