What is the ruling if the parties dispute the scope or location defining the agreed payment for returning an item?

Primary text

The same ruling applies if they disagree on the distance that determined the payment—for example, one states the payment was for returning the item from Aleppo (*Halab*) while the other states it was for returning it from Homs (*Hims*). In such cases, the owner's statement prevails because they are considered more knowledgeable of their own condition/stipulation.
