Question
Some have the custom of transferring the garment to another, thereby exempting themselves from tearing, as in the case of someone wearing another's garment who is exempt from tearing (Yoreh De'ah, Siman 340, Se'if 34, and in Taz Se'if 50 it is written that if he tore, he did not fulfill it because it is a stolen garment). Does this help?
Answer
This does not help because the one who acquires the garment does not care if it is torn. As explained there, if the owner does not mind if the garment is torn, he is obligated to tear.
