Question
He sold an apartment and forgot to take from there several mezuzahs that he had borrowed from a gemach. In the meantime, the buyer installed additional mezuzahs, and now he does not remember which belong to the buyer and which to the gemach. May he take any mezuzah
and return it to the gemach?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
Each mezuzah is a separate item, and one mezuzah cannot be taken in place of another. He must speak with the buyer and come to an agreement with him about what to do.
