What is the difference between charging to lend a shovel, and charging to lend money?
The money may be devalued, leaving the person with nothing. The shovel will remain useful.
One returns the same shovel itself, and it depreciates, when it is worn out through use. One does not return the same coins, and they do not become worn out from use.
I may end up using the shovel if I don’t lend it out, but I only lend out money that I won't be using.
The owner has a personal attachment to his shovel. He does not have a personal attachment to his coins.
The person will buy a shovel if he cannot borrow one, but he will not buy money!
Which of these payments are not Torah-forbidden Ribis?
