The ruling on one who hires a beast of burden for carrying and then rides with another person

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, Adam.

The questioner : If one proposes that a beast be hired for one to ride or to carry another person.

The Shaykh : To ride? No, there is no harm in riding if it does not cause harm to the back, either due to his poor handling of it, or because he is heavier than the first rider. Yes. No, it must be struck? How is it struck? If he rides with another, the weight on the back will increase, will it not? Good. Hmm? Yes, and even if it is not affected, there is an increase.

The questioner : It is a burden for him to drag and take. May Allah preserve you. He takes people with him.

The Shaykh : Yes, this means if he hired it for his own riding alone, then it is not permissible for him to place even one person in it. And if he hired it as they say, "complete," then it is permissible for him to ride with someone who does not harm the vehicle.

The questioner : This Shaykh does not clarify this.

The Shaykh : He does not clarify.

The questioner : He hires a car by the kilometer.

The Shaykh : He does not clarify; he clarifies by saying, "My father, hurry for me and my family, or hurry for the complete [ride]."
