Natural destruction is a loss without the owner intentionally eliminating the property, such as accidental death of livestock. Deliberate destruction is the owner’s own act and does not erase a pre-existing liability.
Thus the wording “saqatat” must not be applied indiscriminately to every kind of disappearance of property. If part remains, the residual liability requires its own calculation.
