Question
I have a store, and due to the war, it will be difficult for me to reach a rabbi. I was told that because customers record in my computer, it is more severe, and I must make a Prozbul. Is this true?
Answer
In every purchase on credit in a store, there is a dispute whether the debt is annulled. However, when the credit purchase is recorded on a computer where each purchase summarizes the total debt of purchases made to date, it should be considered as "zakifa". In any case, since there is a dispute, it is advisable to make a Prozbul. You can deliver it by phone or appoint a representative by phone.
