Deceiving a Non-Jew
Question
If someone deceived a non-Jew by saying an adult is a child and thus paid less, is this acceptable, and is it considered theft?
Answer
Hello,
This is theft, and theft from a non-Jew is forbidden.
[Since the non-Jew conditions entry on payment, entering without full payment is theft].
