Question
A person borrowed money from his friend's company, and the form of the loan is such that every month he receives a salary, and at the end of the year he returns all the money to the company. Since the form of the loan is as a salary, the law requires that he work something for the company, and even an hour of work a month is considered work. Is this work, which is worth money, considered as interest?
Answer
This is considered interest, and the solution is to pay him a small amount of money for the work he does.
