Question:
Hi,
I am self employed and one of my Jewish clients sent a past due payment during shabbos. Am I able to accept the payment and if not, how do I proceed? Thanks!
Answer:
Hello,
You may use the money, however you would have to wait to use it after Shabbos, as not to benefit from the Shabbos transfer. Meaning that you would wait until the money clears, if the transfer would have been done after Shabbos.
Best wishes
