He—may Allah have mercy on him—was also asked:

A large camel was tethered in a pasture, beside a small, young male camel belonging to someone other than the owner of the large camel. The owners of both camels then went away, and the larger camel turned on the smaller one and killed it. What is the ruling?

He replied:

If the owner of the large camel was not negligent in restraining it—for example, if he had secured it with a tether sufficient to restrain it—he bears no liability. But if he was negligent by securing it with a light tether that would not restrain it, he must compensate for the damage it caused. Allah knows best.
