The ruling on the destruction of a borrowed item or the decrease in its value in the matter for which it was used

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the garment becomes worn out or its value decreases, he is not liable for compensation, because he is permitted to use it for what is part of its necessity. However, if it is destroyed, he is liable for it at its value on the day it was destroyed.

The Shaykh : If he borrowed from him a pair of sandals, and by wiping with them their leather peeled off, is he liable or not? That is what I am asking, that is what I am asking. No, even if he borrowed other things from him. I mean the rope used for drawing water. If this rope weakens because of the bucket, is he liable or not? He is not liable, because if it is destroyed in the matter for which it was borrowed, there is no liability on him.
