The answer

The borrower guarantees the item he borrowed if he is negligent with it or exceeds the permitted use, or if the borrowed item is damaged, even if there was no transgression or negligence. However, he does not guarantee the reduction [in value or quantity] that occurs due to the purpose for which it was borrowed.
