Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I borrowed gold from my sister, and the price of gold was cheap at that time. Now the price of gold has risen, so how is the repayment to be made, given that there was no condition between us to return the gold with gold of the same kind?
Answer:
He returns to her gold of the same kind, whatever the value may be, even if it has risen. He buys her gold like the gold he borrowed from her and hands it to her, even if its value is high. Yes.
