the destruction of houses is an immediate end and a short period. the resident in it is the one who enjoys it and benefits from its amenities. he is the one who has worn out its newness and lost its beauty and with it it has become old and its life has passed due to his poor management. so if we measure the loss when it is destroyed by its restoration and after its beginning and the loss in between of its repair and maintenance then we compare that to what we have taken from its yields and the benefits we have gained from its rental then the loss for the house will be proportionate to the profit that the resident has obtained.
ولانهدام المنازل غاية قريبة، ومدة قصيرة. والساكن فيها هو المتمتع بها ٤ ، والمنتفع بمرافقها. وهو الذي أبلى جدتها وذهب بحلاها، وبه هرمت وذهب عمرها، لسوء تدبيره. فإذا قسنا الغرم عند انهدامها بإعادتها، وبعد إبتدائها، وغرم ما بين ذلك من مرمتها وإصلاحها، ثم قابلنا بذلك ما أخذنا من غلاتها، وارتفقنا به من إكرائها، خرج على المسكن من الخسران، بقدر ما حصل للساكن من الربح.
