Pruzbul for Someone in a Coma
Question
My father, shlita, has lost consciousness and is in a coma. We hope he will recover before Rosh Hashanah, but if not, what should we do as many people owe him money?
Answer
Shalom and blessings, I wish your father a complete recovery. Regarding the question, it is permissible to be lenient and write a pruzbul even through acquisition, and if the lender does not observe Torah and mitzvot, there is doubt whether it is considered acquisition.
