Does one fulfill his obligation with a borrowed Mezuzah?
[1] Minchas Chinuch 23; Har Tzevi Yore Deah 238; Mikdash Meat 285/4
The reason: As the Torah does not say Lachem by the Mezuzah.
[2] Daas Kedoshim 289; See Admur 38/11 and M”A 38/15 “in contrast to a Mezuzah which is not possible to borrow”. This implies that one cannot borrow a Mezuzah, however see Gidulei Hekdesh 289/3 that explains this to mean that people don’t have extra Mezuzas to lend being that they are constantly being used, as opposed to Tefillin.
