Hirsch Summary
A gave B 4000 fl. For this, B was supposed to pay A 7% for the lifetime of A and then be allowed to keep the entire sum. Before a house or property was pledged for this obligation, A and B fell out and dissolved the contract. A demanded the 4000 fl. plus interest, while B refused to pay interest, arguing that it violated the Torah's prohibition on usury. Samuel ben Salomo a'Cathan ruled that B must pay the interest.
