# It is forbidden for a lender to use the collateral that the borrower provided without certain conditions.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 164:4</ref> According to Ashkenazim it is permitted for a borrower to eat the fruit of the collateral field if either he pays for the fruit or there is a condition that the borrower can't kick him out of the field at any time. However, according to Sephardim it is always forbidden unless they use a system in which the fruit of the collateral serves as the pay of the loan and at a certain date the fruit are considered to have paid off the loan (''Mashkanta Dsura'').<ref>The opinion of Rashi (B"m 71a s.v. lo mesalkinan) is that it is permitted for a lender to eat the fruit except for where they kick out the lender at any time and he isn't pay for the fruit. Even then it is only rabbinic. Tosfot b"m 64b and Rosh b"m 5:34 agree. Rashba b"m 68a s.v. linyan holds that if he pays it is permitted while if he doesn't it is forbidden. The Rif b"m 38b and Rambam Malveh Vloveh 6:7 hold it is forbidden in all cases for the lender to eat the fruit. The only pay to permit a lender to benefit from the fruit is if they use the Mashkanta Dsura method. Under the Mashkanta Dsura the fruit of the collateral serve as the payment of the loan and after a certain amount of time the field is returned to the borrowed for nothing else in exchange. The Shulchan Aruch 172:1 seems to follow the opinion of the Rif, while the Rama follows the opinion of the Rabbenu Tam and also cites Rashba, however, he notes that each place should follow their minhag.

The Shach 172:1 clarifies that the Shulchan Aruch holds for the contingency of Mashkanta Dsura to be effective it needs to have the language of that the loan will be paid by a certain time and the field will be returned, which implies a sale as opposed to a loan. Additionally, it must be the case that the lender can't force the borrower to repay the loan at any time.</ref>
