Question
Dear Rabbi, thank you for this site, it is very nice. My question is as follows: my friend committed to pay me money if something happened, which it did. I don't want to go into details. Do I need to make a pruzbul so that he will still owe me?
Answer
Hello and blessings. Debts that arise from commitments a person makes to a friend (provided the commitment is valid according to Halacha) are not annulled by the Sabbatical year. However, some hold that they are treated like loans and are annulled. Therefore, it is always advisable to make a pruzbul.
