Question

What restrictions are there on money received in exchange for Shemitah produce?

Answer

The seller of Shemitah produce, even in a permissible manner, must use the money received for the produce with the sanctity of Shemitah. This money should be used to purchase food that will be eaten with the sanctity of Shemitah [all the laws applicable to the produce itself]. Additionally, the produce continues to remain holy [however, if purchased on credit or mixed, the money is not sanctified].
