Buying Aliyot

Question

If a levi were to bid on an alyiah and there was no cohen in shul so he was forced not to get his aliyah does he have to pay for it ?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

Since he didn't receive the Aliyah, he does not need to pay.

One should make sure before the auctioning that there will be a Kohen and Levi aliyah.
