Question
I forgot to make a Prozbul. What is the ruling?
Answer
Hello. A debt that has passed the Shemitah year without a Prozbul cannot be claimed. If the borrower comes to repay, the lender must say, "I release it." According to most Rishonim, even if the lender does not say "I release it," the debt is annulled.
