like a bracelet or a ring. If he wears a decorated sword, he does not violate the oath, because the sword is not jewelry. If he wears a decorated belt, there are two views regarding it. The first is that he does not violate the oath, because the adornment belongs to it [the belt] rather than him, so it resembles a decorated sword. The second is that he violates the oath, because it is among the jewelry of men, and it is usually not intended to be worn decorated except for the purpose of beautification. If he swears not to wear a ring, and he wears it on a finger other than the little finger, he violates the oath. Al-Shafi'i said: He does not violate the oath, because the oath entails customary wearing, [and this is not customary], so it resembles the case where he inserts a cap on his foot. As for us, he is wearing what he swore to refrain from wearing, so it is like if he were to wear trousers.

[Abu al-Khattab mentioned this as a possibility]; because in every part, neither of them was the sole purchaser, so he does not violate the oath by it, just as if he swore not to wear a garment that Zayd bought, and then he wore a garment that both he and someone else bought. As for us, Zayd is a purchaser of half of it, and it is food, and he has eaten it, so he must violate the oath, just as if Zayd bought it, then mixed it with what Amr bought, and he ate all of it. As for the garment, we do not concede that [analogy], and even if we did concede it, the difference between them is that half of a garment is not a garment, whereas half of the food is food, and he has eaten it after Zayd bought it. And if Zayd bought
