Question:
Hi - I work for a company (LLC) that is majority-owned by a Jew, but it has a non-Jewish minority owner. The business owes me some money. Without a heter iska, would it be assur for the business to pay me interest on the money owed to me?
What if I also owned a minority stake in the business? Would it be assur for a business in which I’m a partial owner (and is majority owned by Jews) to pay interest on the money owed to me without a heter iska?
Answer:
Yes, you should have a heter iska, even though you have a part in the company, since it can be ribbis.
Best wishes
