بَابُ الظَّهْرِ يُرْكَبُ بِنَفَقَتِهِ إِذَا كَانَ مَرْهُوْنًاChapter: The riding animal may be used with its maintenance if it is pledged
Hadith 6065
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الدَّابَّةُ مَرْهُونَةً فَعَلَى الْمُرْتَهِنِ عَلَفُهَا وَلَبَنُ الدَّرِّ يُشْرَبُ وَعَلَى الَّذِي يَشْرَبُ وَيَرْكَبُ نَفَقَتُهُ
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When an animal is pawned, its fodder will be the responsibility of the one who takes it as collateral, and the milk of a milking animal may be drunk, and the one who drinks the milk or rides the animal will bear its expenses.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The one who gives something in pledge is called the "rahin," and the one with whom it is deposited as collateral is called the "murtahin."
Now, the question arises: Can the murtahin derive any benefit from the item held in pledge or not? The summary of the answer to this question is as follows:
If the pledged item does not require any expenditure, such as a house, bicycle, motorcycle, or other goods, then under no circumstances is it permissible for the murtahin to derive any benefit from it. However, if the pledged item does require expenditure, such as a goat or a horse, then the murtahin may benefit from it to the extent of the expenses he incurs on it, as is evident from the aforementioned ahadith.
