Question

Hello, Is it permissible according to the law of interest to pay for a package that includes rent starting immediately and produce that has not yet come into existence? It is forbidden to agree on the produce separately because they have not yet come into existence, according to the Talmud, Bava Metzia 73. If the deal also includes rent and it is permissible to increase the rent without the law of interest, can this permit agreeing on the entire deal, since the increase in rent can be attributed to the rent?

Answer

Answer of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita:

It is forbidden to pay for the produce.
