Ribbis on a service

Question:

Someone owes a friend a 10 minute massage one day. He didn't want to do it at the time so offered to give an 11 minute massage the following day. Is that permitted?

 

Answer:

Hello,

The first 10 minutes are fine... the extra minute is not. The reason being is that he is giving you the extra minute, because he is "returning it " late, which would be ribbis. (Had he not said anything, and end up giving you the extra minute, that would be alright, but being that he said it, it is clear that it is for the late payment).

Best wishes
