Paying off the debts of a deceased poor father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a deceased person has debts and there is no estate left behind due to his poverty, is it obligatory for his sons to pay them?
The Shaykh:
Is it obligatory?
The questioner:
Is it obligatory for his sons to pay them off from their own money?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory for them, but there is no harm in being dutiful to him in the sense of kindness. As for obligation, no. Yes.
