# One may borrow somebody's [[Tefillin]] without the owner's permission, if | # One may borrow somebody's Tallit <ref> Shulchan Aruch OC 14:4, Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 64 </ref>[[Tefillin]] without the owner's permission, if the owner is not there to ask permission from. <ref> Rama OC 14:4, Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 64, Chesed La'alafim 14:4 based on the idea that somebody is happy to have his belongings used for a mitzvah. Kaf Hachayim 14:19 says this only applies if the owner is not present to ask for permission. </ref> However, if circumstances dictate that the owner would not want you to borrow it, this does not apply. For example, if the owner placed them in a place where it is obvious he does not want them being used, or if someone uses them on a permanent basis. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 14:27. Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 64 gives three other examples: 1. if they are placed in a private locker (Aruch Hashulchan 14:12) 2. If it is brand new (Aruch Hashulchan 14:11) 3. if the borrower is sweaty (Aruch Hashulchan 14:11) </ref> | ||
