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. | ||

# if the borrower is sweaty (Aruch Hashulchan 14:11) <br> | |||
