Dear Rabbi, in your previous response about the sale of mitzvot and sins, you explained that the sale has no validity whatsoever.
And I asked, what about mutual responsibility, that all Israelites are responsible for one another, for I know there is an opinion that, due to this, the buyer of a transgression of his friend, although the acquisition is not valid, the buyer becomes ‘responsible’ for his friend to repent of the transgression or be punished, and the heavens have the right to demand from the responsible party, if the seller does not repent.
Dear and esteemed friend, the illustrious Mr. Uri Wilkfort,
The opinion that the sale is an addition due to mutual guarantee is not among the first, moreover, it is an isolated opinion and not consensual. Moreover, it does not seem logical, and the opposite is explained by the early rabbis.
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
