Deuteronomy 24:17 "Nor shall you take a widow's garment as security"

We must be very careful when dealing with a widow.

She is alone and we must consider the difficulties that she faces.

The Torah forbids us to demand any security from her for a loan she has taken. Rather, we should be kind and trust that HaShem will help her repay.

This Negative Mitzvah applies regardless of whether a widow is poor or wealthy.
