Hadith.3918 - Ali bin Al-Hakam narrated from Isma'il bin Al-Sabbah, who said
I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a launderer to whom a garment is given, but he burns or tears it. Should he be held liable? Imam (as) said: "Yes, he is liable for the damage caused by his actions, for you gave it to him to repair or clean, not to ruin."
3918 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ اَلصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْقَصَّارِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَيْهِ اَلْمَتَاعُ فَيُحْرِقُهُ أَوْ يَخْرِقُهُ أَ يُغَرَّمُهُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ غُرِّمَهُ بِمَا جَنَتْ يَدُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ لِيُصْلِحَ وَ لَمْ تُعْطِهِ لِيُفْسِدَ".
