Question
Reuven demanded 2000 shekels from Shimon for work he did and said he would not forgive until he was paid back. Shimon returned the full amount. Is a written forgiveness required, or is it enough that he returned the full amount?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
No written document is needed; the debt must be fully paid.
If you were supposed to pay earlier and delayed the payment without justification, you should ask for forgiveness for the delay.
