Hirsch Summary
A loan of 100 gold drachmas was given to B by A, with the condition that B would repay it in gold drachmas after one month. When the month was up, the gold drachmas had increased by 2%. Does the agreed-upon repayment violate the Torah's prohibition on interest? Salomo Saruco denies it, stating that B is obligated to repay in gold drachmas.
