قَالَ يَحْيَى: سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ: «الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا فِيمَنِ اسْتَهْلَكَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْحَيَوَانِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ صَاحِبِهِ، أَنَّ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَتَهُ يَوْمَ اسْتَهْلَكَهُ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ بِمِثْلِهِ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ صَاحِبَهُ، فِيمَا اسْتَهْلَكَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْحَيَوَانِ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْهِ قِيمَتُهُ يَوْمَ اسْتَهْلَكَهُ، الْقِيمَةُ أَعْدَلُ ذَلِكَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي الْحَيَوَانِ وَالْعُرُوضِ» قَالَ: وسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ: فِيمَنِ اسْتَهْلَكَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ صَاحِبِهِ فَإِنَّمَا «يَرُدُّ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، مِثْلَ طَعَامِهِ بِمَكِيلَتِهِ مِنْ صِنْفِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا الطَّعَامُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ، إِنَّمَا يَرُدُّ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الذَّهَبَ، وَمِنَ الْفِضَّةِ الْفِضَّةَ، وَلَيْسَ الْحَيَوَانُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الذَّهَبِ فِي ذَلِكَ. فَرَقَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ السُّنَّةُ، وَالْعَمَلُ الْمَعْمُولُ بِهِ» قَالَ يَحْيَى، وسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ: «إِذَا اسْتُوْدِعَ الرَّجُلُ مَالًا فَابْتَاعَ بِهِ لِنَفْسِهِ وَرَبِحَ فِيهِ. فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الرِّبْحَ لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ ضَامِنٌ لِلْمَالِ. حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَهُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ»
Malik Narrated from:
What is done in our community about someone who consumed an animal without the permission of its owner, is that he must pay its price on the day he consumed it. He is not obliged to replace it with a similar animal nor does he compensate the owner with any kind of animal. He must pay its price on the day it was consumed, and giving the value is more equitable in compensation for animals and goods."Yahya said that he heard Malik say about someone who consumes some food without the permission of its owner, "He returns to the owner a like weight of the same kind of food. Food is in the position of gold and silver. Gold and silver are returned with gold and silver. The animal is not in the position of gold in that. What distinguishes between them is the sunna and the behaviour which is in force.Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "If a man is entrusted with some wealth and then trades with it for himself and makes a profit, the profit is his because he is responsible for the property until he returns it to its owner.
