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﴾

真主的确命令你们把一切受信托的事物交给应受的人,真主又命令你们替众人判决的时候要秉公判决。真主用来劝戒你们的事物真优美!真主确是全聪的,确是全明的。

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

信道的人们啊!你们不要背叛真主和使者,不要明知故犯地不忠于你们所受 的信托。
