Business Halacha Daily

May I Purchase a Product when the Store Owner is Not There?

In my small community, I can only purchase cholov yisrael milk in a small family-owned grocery store. When I recently came to the store, the door was open but the owner was not there – it seemed that he had stepped out for a bit. May I take the items I usually buy there (including the milk) and leave money for him on the counter?

Borrowing Without Permission to Avoid Financial Loss

Someone was holding several bags of groceries while walking home from the store when some of the bags started to tear. The person was not in the best neighborhood and was concerned that if he left the bags on the sidewalk to obtain other bags, the groceries would be gone by the time he returned. However, he spotted a children’s toy wagon nearby that he recognized as belonging to a friend. Is he permitted to borrow the wagon to bring home his groceries?

Borrowing a Siddur without Permission

Someone was searching for a siddur to use in shul but could only find a privately owned siddur . He knew that the owner was currently away on vacation and would not need it. Is it permitted for him to use that siddur without permission? Similarly, is it permitted nowadays to use someone else’s talis and tefillin without asking if he does not have his own available?
