To return larger eggs

Interest on loans

Question

I borrowed a number of Medium-size eggs from my neighbors. Now I bought some Large-size eggs. Can I repay my debt with those larger eggs? I personally don’t care about the size difference.

Answer

You are allowed to return those eggs, since you’re not doing it in order to pay more, than what you borrowed. You are only doing it so that you won’t have to go out and buy other eggs.
