If a person bequeaths a camel to one individual and its benefit through riding to another, and its benefits cease and it is slaughtered, to whom does it belong?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, he bequeathed the camel to one person and its benefit through riding to another.

The Shaykh : Yes, if its benefits cease and it is slaughtered, to whom does it belong?

The questioner : In that case.

The Shaykh : It belongs to the one to whom it was bequeathed, because the one who has the right to the benefit... but this opens the door for him to go and break its legs, the one to whom it was bequeathed, right?

The questioner : Yes, I am asking you, O poor man.

The Shaykh : Perhaps, perhaps, but in this case we say now: guarantee the benefit, because you have encroached upon the right of another.

The questioner : Hmm?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, indeed. The bequest follows the asset, it follows the asset, in a gift contract it is not a condition that it be for a known duration.
