Q: It had happened once that I accidentally broke a floor tile that was kept aside in a hospital. Then on another instance , I accidentally broke part of a curtain of a room in a college. Do I have to pay the compensation? If yes, then who do I pay the compensation? There is no individual owner of these properties. This is all government property. So I donot know whom to give the money? Can I put some money at the place where the broken things are? Or can I give the estimated money to a a beggar? Because if I give the money to anybody else, there is high chance that they will put the money in their own pockets.
A: In some way, return the equivalent amount to the hospital and the college. Perhaps you can give the money as a donation to them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
