==Converting an Interest Loan into a Heter Iska==
# Some hold that it is evading ribbit and forbidden to convert an interest loan into a heter iska.<ref>Yabia Omer YD 1:13 forbids this because of haramat ribbit unlike the Rav Poalim YD 4:11 who allows converting a loan with interest into a loan with a penalty if not returned by the delivery date. Yabia Omer argues that doing such a conversion is haaramat ribbit. Radvaz 3:511 writes that haaramat ribbit depends on the time and place and in a generation that isn't careful in this area more cases are forbidden.</ref>
