Ruling if a Man Rents a Mount and Goes Beyond the Agreed Destination

Hazrat Abu Ata reports that I was present with Qazi Shurayh when two men came to him with a case: one man had taken a ride from the other for a specific place, but he took it beyond that. Hazrat Shurayh made the owner of the ride entitled to compensation.

Hazrat Hasan bin Ubaidullah says that I asked Ibrahim, if a person hires a ride and takes it beyond the agreed destination, what is the ruling? He replied that he will be liable, and in case of violating the agreement, there is no rent upon him.

Hazrat Hakam states that if the ride remains safe, then two rentals will be combined for it.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Ubaidullah Thaqafi narrates that a man rented an animal for a place called Bardamah, but he took it beyond the designated location, where the animal met with an accident and died. In this case, the judge Shurayh ruled that the rent for the designated place should be paid, and for taking it further, the man should guarantee (compensate for) the animal.

Ibrahim says that if a man hires a ride for a specific area, then if he goes beyond that place and causes it harm, he will be liable for the first rent and also for compensation.

Qadi Shurayh says that if a rented animal is taken beyond the specified place, both the rent and liability will be obligatory.
