Paying in Cases of Emergency

How does Jewish law relate to not paying for something due to an emergency?

Answer:

In general, when a service or item is being offered for money, and somebody receives it, an “emergency situation” will not exempt from payment.

If a person has no money, he won’t be able to pay – but whenever he obtains funds he will have to pay for what he received.

For some exceptions to the rule (rare) please see here.

Best wishes.
