The answer

The agent in a Mudarabah (partnership with capital and labor) is trustworthy with the money and is not liable for any losses unless caused by negligence. His claims regarding damage or loss are to be accepted, because he is managing another's money with their permission and does not exclusively benefit from it. Therefore, if the agent claims a loss and the money is gone, his word is to be taken, and his accountability, if he is lying, is with Allah.
