Chapter on Liability for Those Who Take Payment for Repairing Something but Cause Damage Instead
رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُعْطَى اَلثَّوْبَ لِيَصْبَغَهُ فَيُفْسِدُهُ فَقَالَ "كُلُّ عَامِلٍ أَعْطَيْتَهُ أَجْراً عَلَى أَنْ يُصْلِحَ فَأَفْسَدَ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ".
Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, regarding a man who gives a garment to someone to dye it, but the dyer ruins it. Imam عليه السلام said: "Any worker whom you pay to repair or improve something but ends up damaging it is liable."
