Question
Does the lighter need to own the oil, or is it permissible to light with a friend's oil who allows it? In other words, is there a law of 'yours' regarding the oil for the Hanukkah candle?
Answer
There is no need for the oil to belong to the lighter. Only for an emissary who lights, the oil must belong to the sender.
