Rav Avigdor Miller on Damaging Chesed

print

Q:


If people are waiting for a Jewish owned bus, and I’m passing by and I could give them a ride for nothing or for less money, should I do it? Or do I have to take into account that I’ll be hurting the Jew who owns the bus company? 

A:


For less money, I don’t know what to tell you. But if you can give them a ride for nothing, don’t hesitate.  Don’t hesitate! Gemillas chessed, even though somebody else would make money from that, but your mitzvah of gemillas chessed gives you a right to do it for nothing.  No question about that. Just don’t tell this to the bus man.
