#5934 – Can the Kohen Keep the Cash?
Question
I have more questions. Is a Kohen allowed to forgive others from paying him what they really owe him in money or honour?
Answer
A Kohen may be mochel any money owed to him and also release others from paying him the honour due to him, except being called up first to the Torah. Rama 128:45; Mishnah Berurah 201:13.
