قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الصَّبَّاغِ يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ الثَّوْبُ فَيُخْطِئُ بِهِ، فَيَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ آخَرَ حَتَّى يَلْبَسَهُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ : إِنَّهُ لَا غُرْمَ عَلَى الَّذِي لَبِسَهُ، وَيَغْرَمُ الْغَسَّالُ لِصَاحِبِ الثَّوْبِ، وَذَلِكَ إِذَا لَبِسَ الثَّوْبَ الَّذِي دُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ، بِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ، فَإِنْ لَبِسَهُ وَهُوَ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ ثَوْبَهُ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ لَهُ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person gives his cloth to a dyer for dyeing, and the dyer gives that cloth to another person to wear, then the dyer will be liable for its compensation if the wearer does not know that the cloth belongs to someone else. But if he knows, then the compensation will be upon him.
