Haram Money & business

Is it haram to betray a trust?

Short answer

Yes. The Quran commands returning trusts to their owners (4:58) and forbids betraying them (8:27). This includes money left with you, secrets, and the duties of a job. Delaying payment of a debt when you are able to pay is also a form of injustice.

Evidence

Quran

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا۟ ٱلْأَمَٰنَٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا۟ بِٱلْعَدْلِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًۭا ﴿٥٨﴾

Alá os ordena que restituyáis los depósitos a sus propietarios y que cuando decidáis entre los hombres lo hagáis con justicia. ¡Qué bueno es aquello a que Alá os exhorta! Alá todo lo oye, todo lo ve.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَخُونُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوٓا۟ أَمَٰنَٰتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

¡Creyentes! ¡No traicionéis a Alá y a Enviado! ¡No traicionéis, a sabiendas, la confianza puesta en vosotros!

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
