Question
He bought groceries for his grandfather for 70 shekels, and when his grandfather paid him, he gave him 100 shekels. Is there a problem of ribit?
Answer
For an ordinary person, this would be a problem due to ribit at the time of repayment, even if he usually adds to it. However, since it is a grandfather and such close relatives, there is a clear assumption that he gives it as a gift, and it is permitted even at the time of repayment.
