Refusing to take compensation for damaged belongings

4-5-2017 | IslamWeb

Question:

Assalaamu alaykum. Suppose that I have damaged my friend's property. I intend to compensate the damage with money, but my friend refused it and told me that it is okay. Do I have to do anything? Thank you, may Allaah bless you.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Since your friend refused to take compensation for the damage, you are acquitted from sin, and you are not required to do anything if she is of sound mind.

Allah knows best.
