Question
I paid 50 euros for my friend, and he returned to me in shekels - 200 shekels when the euro was worth 3.9956 shekels, and now it is worth 3.97, and my friend returned 200 shekels to me today. Is there an issue of ribit (interest) in this?
Answer
Hello,
His obligation is in shekels, according to the rate at the time of the loan.
