Returning a Larger Product Instead of a Smaller One
Question
A neighbor borrowed several eggs of size M (medium) and wants to return size L (large). Is there a prohibition of ribit in this?
Answer
It is permitted because one buys what is customary, and on the contrary, it is difficult for him to buy the smaller size. Only in the case of a whole carton is it forbidden to return more.
