Question
If someone prohibited his friend from benefiting from him in a general manner, but his intention was only for a specific item he was holding, is his friend completely forbidden to benefit from him as per the wording of the vow, or only from that item?
Answer
If it is clear to everyone that his intention was only for this item, then the prohibition applies only to this item.
