Perishing the Usurped Property
Issue No. 2188- If a thing usurped by a person perishes, in case it is among the things whose double is usually rare to find, like many animals and hand-woven carpets, he should pay its price, but if its market value has undergone a change, he should give the value of the day when it perished (if the usurper delays the paying from the day that thing perished then the average inflation rate must be added to the price). However, if the usurped thing is among those which are mass-produced and their double are available usually in abundance, like wheat, barley, machine carpets, various kinds of fabrics and utensils, then, he should give back the double of what he has usurped, but its qualification and characteristics should be the same as those of the usurped one.
