In this video: Several questions regarding the liabilities of a borrower according to Halacha. Once a person made “kinyan meshichah” to an item in order to borrow it, he is liable to any damage done to it.
Even if the damage happened by pure accident, the sho’el is liable, as he benefits from all the “hana’a”. But what happens if the item is borrowed for a job that is worth less than a perutah (i.e. no substantial value) but does give the sho’el hana’a? Is he still liable?
