佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事 1.201

1.201

問：「三衣破補便得受。須復施他人耶？」答：「破容猫子脚，便應施人，人還乃得補受。若先補後施人亦得。」

Question: "If the three robes are torn and patched, may they then be formally received [again], or must they again be given to another person?" Answer: "If a tear could accommodate a kitten's foot, they must immediately be given to someone; only when the person returns them may they be patched and received. It is also permissible to patch them first and give them to someone afterwards."
