What is the ruling when the animal is destroyed after a rent period has passed, and the claimed rent equals or exceeds the animal's value, or the claimed amount is less than what the rider admits to owing?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Loan for Use
Primary text
The statement of the owner prevails without an oath, whether claiming a lease or a loan for use, as an oath serves no purpose when the rider already admits to owing the amount claimed.
Supporting text
It is potentially required that the owner take it only with an oath because they are claiming something the rider does not fully confirm, even though the rider admits to a lesser amount or a different nature of payment.
