Primary text
If the item depreciates due to usage, the ruling follows that concerning liability for the item's total value. If it is determined that the borrower is liable for the depreciation, it is treated the same as liability for the item's value. If it is determined that the lender is liable for the depreciation, it is treated the same as the rental fee (ujr), as previously explained.
