Is the soil too dense? Do you water it too much (if the soil was more porous then watering too much should not be an issue)?
Ficus species (especially benjamina) tends to be sensitive to changes in light intensity and so as a reaction it looses some leaves. If that is the case then your tree should bounce back growing more leaves.
