Is the custodian entitled to reimbursement if they spent on the animal without seeking permission from a judge when it was possible to do so?

Primary text
There are two conflicting narrations regarding whether the custodian can seek reimbursement if they spent without obtaining the judge's permission when permission was possible. One narration states that reimbursement is allowed because spending for maintenance is usually permitted by custom. The second narration denies reimbursement because the custodian was negligent in failing to seek the judge's permission.

Similar conflicting narrations exist regarding reimbursement when spending without documentation (witnesses), both when seeking the judge's permission was possible and when it was not.
