| Borrowed. Tech: To authorize someone to receive benefit from one's property without any consideration. It is one of the customs of Muslim society. People borrow quite frequently small articles of household goods from neighbors and relatives, which is considered as a custom to promote love and cooperation among citizens (Quran 107:7). The difference between ariyah and qard is that in the former case, the thing borrowed (which is always other than money) is to be returned in its original form, whereas in the case of qard, the loan can be, and is usually, returned in money of equivalent value.
