Ruling 2355 — Deposit (Wadīʿah) and Trust (Amānah)

If the owner of the property specifies a place for safeguarding it and says to the safe keeper, ‘You must look after the property here even if you deem it probable that it will be destroyed’, the safe keeper cannot take it to another place. If he does [take the property to another place] and it perishes, he is responsible for it unless he is certain (i.e. he has yaqīn) that the property would perish there [i.e. in the first location], in which case it is permitted for him to transfer it to a safe place.
