Q & A: Shemittah And IOUs (Part VII)

By Rabbi Yaakov Klass

Question: I recently loaned money to a friend who has been able to repay only part of it. This was an interest-free loan.

Now that shemittah is approaching, what should I do? Should I forgive the loan? And if my friend is not able to repay it, may I deduct the unpaid money from my ma’aser requirement? Name Withheld
