Question
The rabbi permitted leniency regarding interest when advancing funds in a deal with non-observant Jews. I am buying an apartment under the 'Price for New Settlers' program and paying in advance, but I do not know if the owners are observant. The company is not willing to make a heter iska. What is the ruling?
Answer
You can rely on the fact that they are secular, as there is evidence from their unwillingness to make a heter iska.
