Question 1304) - He usurped gold/silver and made it into Dirham/Dinar or vessels. Has the ownership been transferred?

A: According to Imaam Abu Hanifa RAH. the owner retains ownership because the substance of the item remains from all aspects.*

* According to the other two the usurper will owe the amount of gold/silver he usurped and will own the usurped item because he had added craftsmanship to it. If he however beat it into sheets then ownership has not been transferred according to all three Imams.
