Question
Shalom u-vracha
My wife was in a shoe store, and while she was examining a shoe, a cut on her finger began to bleed. As a result of the bleeding, the shoe was soiled irreversibly.
Is she obligated to pay for the shoe and, if so, does she need to pay the full price for which the shoe is offered for sale, or some other amount?
Thank you

Answer of the dayanim of the Beit HaHora’ah:
She must pay the price of a shoe that is offered for sale.
[This is derived from the halacha of a buyer who takes an item in order to examine it].
