Repaying Gold Debt After Price Change
A woman lent her brother three gold pieces three years ago, and now he wants to return these gold pieces. However, due to the increase in the price per gram, the value of the pieces will be higher. Is the amount of the increase considered usury?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The amount of the increase is not considered usury; because he is obligated to return what he took from it even if its price has risen, and God knows best.
