Question
How can one purchase items sanctified with the holiness of the Shemitah year without sanctifying the money?
Answer
To pay on credit, or with a credit card, or by blending, meaning to agree with the seller that you are paying for another product that no longer has Shemitah sanctity, and the fruit is given as a gift.
