Question

I borrowed a salmon fish from my mother-in-law. I am returning a fish that I know is slightly larger than the one I borrowed. How can I return it?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

Since you do not intend to return more, but only because this is the way you can return, there is no concern of interest.
