# It is forbidden to buy, sell, give rent, and take rent on [[Shabbat]] applying both to the buyer and seller. <Ref> The Mishna (Beitzah 36b) states that one may perform Kiddushin or designate an item as Hekdesh on [[Shabbat]]. The Gemara (37a) explains that these activities were forbidden because of the prohibition of doing business (Mekach UMemkar) on [[Shabbat]]. Rashi 37a s.v. Mishum offers two reasons to forbid business on [[Shabbat]]. Firstly, it should be prohibited based on “Memsoh Chefsecha VeDaber Davar” in Yishayahu, which is understood by chazal to mean that one should refrain from engaging or speaking about weekday activities on [[Shabbat]]. Secondly, doing business on [[Shabbat]] is forbidden as a rabbinic enactment lest one come to write down the details of the transaction. The Ramban (Vayikra 23:24) explains that this rabbinic prohibition of doing business on [[Shabbat]] is essentially based on the biblical mitzvah of “Shabaton” which refers to resting on [[Shabbat]]. </ref> | # It is forbidden to buy, sell, give rent, and take rent on [[Shabbat]] applying both to the buyer and seller. <Ref> The Mishna (Beitzah 36b) states that one may perform Kiddushin or designate an item as Hekdesh on [[Shabbat]].
