Such is the opinion of the Rambam (Shemittah VeYovel 9:3) and Sefer Hachinuch 477. The Rama quotes some who hold that it doesn't apply at all nowadays but doesn't recommend relying on that opinion. Shach 67:2 quotes the Bach who says someone who follows the halacha in this matter should be blessed.</ref> | ||
