Sefer HaMitzvos

מצות לא תעשה רל״ו

Day 301 of 339

Negative Mitzvah 236

It is forbidden to borrow money if interest is charged

Deuteronomy 23:20 "You shall not give interest to your brother"

This Negative Mitzvah cautions the borrower from taking a loan which includes an interest charge (see Negative Mitzvah 235).

Rather, he should trust that HaShem will grant him his needs in a manner permitted by Torah law.
