Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: A, A, S. I am sending two questions. A person close to me owns land, and his creditors come to him, but he turns them away on the pretext that he has no money. He also wants this so that the value of the land will rise until he can pay all his creditors. If one of the creditors asks me what he owns, am I required to inform them of that?
Answer:
Yes, he is liable for the debt and must not delay paying the debt. If he has land that has value, and the debt has become due, and he has nothing with which to pay it, then it is obligatory for him to sell the land and pay the creditors, and he must not delay them. Yes.
