He was also asked—may Allah Most High have mercy on him:
A man pledged a belt, and the pledgee used it, breaking its strap and wearing away its coating. What is the ruling?

If its value has diminished through the pledgee’s use, he must compensate for the diminution caused by that use. And Allah, glorified is He, knows best.
وَسُئِلَ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى -:
عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَرْهَنَ حِيَاصَةً فَاسْتَعْمَلَهَا الْمُرْتَهِنُ فَقَطَعَ سَيْرَهَا وَعَدِمَ طَلْيَهَا؟
فَأَجَابَ:
إنْ كَانَتْ نَقَصَتْ بِاسْتِعْمَالِ الْمُرْتَهِنِ فَعَلَيْهِ ضَمَانُ مَا نَقَصَ بِالِاسْتِعْمَالِ وَاَللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَعْلَمُ.
