Halocho #1935 - Lending out borrowed money

Yesterday we learned that if you borrow or hire something, you are not allowed to let other people use it, without explicit permission from the original owner.

Money is different. You may lend out money that you borrowed, since the lender does not expect you to return the same coins and bills.

However, if you are expected to return those same bills and coins, then you may not lend them to others.

For example, if they are collector's items, or they are tied up and you are safeguarding them - not using them as a loan - then you may not let others use them.

הַמַּפְקִיד מָעוֹת אֵצֶל חֲבֵרוֹ, עַתָּה בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה שֶׁכָּל עֲסָקֵינוּ בְּמַשָּׂא וּמַתָּן וְהַכֹּל צְרִיכִין לְמָעוֹת, מִן הַסְּתָם נִתְרַצָּה הַמַּפְקִיד, שֶׁהַנִּפְקָד יוֹצִיאֵן כְּשֶׁיִצְטָרֵךְ

וְלָכֵן מֻתָּר לוֹ לְהוֹצִיאָן, וַהֲרֵי הֵן אֶצְלוֹ כְּמוֹ מִלְוֶה, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן גִּלָּה הַמַּפְקִיד דַּעְתּוֹ שֶׁאֵין רְצוֹנוֹ בְּכָךְ, כְּגוֹן שֶׁחֲתָמָן אוֹ קְשָרָן בְּקֶשֶׁר מְשֻׁנֶּה, אָז אֵין הַנִּפְקָד רַשַּׁאי לְהוֹצִיאָן
