Question: Is there a problem of violating the Jewish law against charging or paying interest when leasing a car from a Jewish owned leasing firm?
Would it be better to avoid any questions and lease from a non-Jewish owned leasing firm?
Answer: Thank you for your question. If the lease is structured in a normal fashion, it is like any other rental and would not be a problem of Ribbis. There is no advantage of leasing from a non-Jew vs. a Jew.
Take care,
Rabbi Aaron Tendler
