Question

I borrowed a bag of flour from my neighbor, which was open and not full. I weighed it to know how much was there. When I return it, can I return a full bag, or because of interest, do I need to open it and return the exact amount that was there?

Answer

Hello 

It is permissible to return a little more, for your convenience, in an amount that does not cause strictness between neighbors.
