Rules of Squandering the Leased Property
Issue No.1872- If a thing taken by a person on lease is lost, or becomes defective, and if he has not been negligent in looking after it nor extravagant in its use, he is not responsible. If, for example, a cloth given to a tailor is stolen, or destroyed in fire, and if he has not been negligent in looking after it, he is not responsible. However, if by mistake, or any other reason, he has destroyed or made it defective with his own hand, he is responsible. However, if the defect is in the item itself, for instance, the quality of the fabric is such that it will be ruined by ironing, in this case he is not responsible.
