Question:
Hello,
A Yeshiva loaned me money. I have heard that there is a position that in repaying to a Tzedakah/Yeshiva there is no Ribbis issue. Can you please clarify if this is true and if one is to rely on this for practical Halacha.
Thank you
Answer:
Hello,
There is a halacha that one is allowed to give ribbis d'rabonon to a tzedakah, and a yeshiva is included in this. This halacha is only if the ribbis was not agreed upon beforehand, which would render it ribbis d'orayso. therefore since here the extra money was not agreed to beforehand it would be permitted.
Best wishes
I think there is some sort of mistake here, the answer seems like the wrong answer.
You are right, i inserted the correct answer.
Thank you
