كُلُّ عَامِلٍ أَعْطَيْتَهُ أَجْراً عَلَى أَنْ يُصْلِحَ فَأَفْسَدَ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ[3].
Hadith.3917 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (as), regarding a man who gives a garment to someone to dye it, but the dyer ruins it. Imam (as) said: "Any worker whom you pay to repair or improve something but ends up damaging it is liable."
نَعَمْ غُرِّمَهُ بِمَا جَنَتْ يَدُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ لِيُصْلِحَ وَ لَمْ تُعْطِهِ لِيُفْسِدَ.
I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a launderer to whom a garment is given, but he burns or tears it. Should he be held liable? Imam (as) said: "Yes, he is liable for the damage caused by his actions, for you gave it to him to repair or clean, not to ruin."
قَالَ ع كَانَ أَبِي ع يُضَمِّنُ الْقَصَّارَ وَ الصَّوَّاغَ مَا أَفْسَدَا وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يَتَفَضَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ.
Hadith.3919 - Imam (as) said: "My father (as) used to hold the launderer and the goldsmith liable for any damage they caused. But, Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as) would show leniency toward them."
