Question
A person whose clothes are borrowed or transferred to another at the time of the obligation to tear for a brother, so they are not his, is he required to tear, and if not, can he recite the blessing of Dayan Ha'emet?
Answer
A person whose clothes are genuinely borrowed (when he did not specify at the time of borrowing that he is going to accompany his relative) is exempt from the obligation to tear, but is required to recite the blessing of Dayan Ha'emet even if he does not tear. However, a person who transfers his clothes to another at the time of the obligation to tear is required to tear. One should not transfer his clothes to another.
