Question
A young man borrowed cufflinks from his friend and lost them. Is there a prohibition of ribit (interest) if he returns more expensive cufflinks, or pays him money that is more than the price of the cufflinks he lost?
Answer
This is not considered ribit (interest), since it is payment for a loss.
