Question
I signed a registration form for an apartment project, paid money to a broker, and another amount as earnest money, and then they set a date for me to sign the actual contract. Am I violating the rule of Mi Shepara if I don't want to sign the contract because I found something cheaper? My question is not about what was paid, but whether I need to continue with the deal due to the rule of Mi Shepara?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Fried, shlita
There is a prohibition to retract, and this is Mi Shepara.
