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﴾

Certes, Allah vous commande de rendre les dépôts à leurs ayants-droit, et quand vous jugez entre des gens, de juger avec équité. Quelle bonne exhortation qu'Allah vous fait! Allah est, en vérité, Celui qui entend et qui voit tout.

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

O vous qui croyez! Ne trahissez pas Allah et le Messager. Ne trahissez pas sciemment la confiance qu'on a placée en vous?

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