Question
There is someone negotiating to buy an apartment, but nothing has been agreed upon, and the broker is offering it to someone else. Is there an issue of 'ani hamehapech becharara' (a poor person turning over a cake) in this situation?
Answer
As long as no deal has been closed, there is no issue.
