Question
A woman lent her friend a simple garment, the item disappeared, and the friend returned a new but better item. After some time, the old item was found. Should she return the new item and get back the old one, or is the new item already hers and no exchange is needed?
Answer
Hello
Once the lender received the replacement garment, what she received is hers.
The borrowed garment that was found can be kept by the friend, as she has already compensated for it.
