Reading a book deposited with a person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man deposited a book with me. Is it permissible for me to read it, or is his permission required?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to read it. It is obligatory for the one who holds it [to seek permission]; because reading exposes it to use and damage. So do not read from it except with his permission. If he gives you permission, there is no contradiction.
