Third-Party Ownership Of Misappropriated Goods
Can a third party guarantee be obtained in a Musharakah?
Third parties (i.e. non-thief and non-owner) who acquire the stolen property, whether by purchase, loan, endowment, gift, inheritance, bequest, or other means, are obligated to return the item to the original owner (and compensate for damage and depreciation), even if they had no prior knowledge of the property's misappropriation.
