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﴾

Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu anakuamrisheni mzirudishe amana kwa wenyewe. Na mnapo hukumu baina ya watu mhukumu kwa uadilifu. Hakika haya anayo kuwaidhini Mwenyezi Mungu ni mazuri sana. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mwenye kusikia, Mwenye kuona.

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

Enyi mlio amini! Msimfanyie khiana Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume, wala msikhini amana zenu, nanyi mnajua.
