佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事經 2.13

2.13

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: "When the three robes are torn and patched, may they immediately be formally received, or must they again be given away to another person?"
Answer: "If a tear is large enough to admit a kitten's paw, it must be given to another person; only after the person returns it may it be patched and formally received. It is also permissible to first patch it and afterwards give it to another person [and receive it back]."
