Maintenance of a Pledged Animal if the Pledgor Flees
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the pledgor flees and the pledgee spends on the animal until the cost of maintenance approaches the value of this animal, does the pledgee continue to spend on it even if it exceeds the value of the pledge, or what does he do? May Allah grant you success?
Answer:
Yes, he spends on it and does not let it wander, because it has sanctity. He spends on it and demands compensation from the pledgor when he comes, because he is the one who caused it to flee or be absent. This harm should not befall the animal, which has sanctity.
