2440. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A mount may be ridden when it is pawned, and its milk may be drunk when it is pawned, but the one who rides it or milks it must pay for its upkeep." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2440 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الظَّهْرُ يُرْكَبُ إِذَا كَانَ مَرْهُونًا، وَلَبَنُ الدَّرِّ يُشْرَبُ إِذَا كَانَ مَرْهُونًا، وَعَلَى الَّذِي يَرْكَبُ وَيَشْرَبُ نَفَقَتُهُ»

Commentary

a. Pawned animal needs to be looked after. It has to be fed, otherwise it can die or become sick or weak. In this way it will be a form of cruelty to the animal. b. If a car or any kind of conveyance is pawned, whoever takes the benefit from it will bear the expenditure of maintenance and fuel etc.
