What does a debtor do if the creditor refuses to accept the money?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A worker wants a sum of money from me. A misunderstanding occurred between us, so he left and I could not find him. After a while, I asked about him to give him the amount. He told me he did not want it. What should I do with this money?

Answer:
If he said he did not want it, he has waived it; he has waived it. As long as you asked him to take it and he said he did not want it, he has waived it for you. He is the one who waived it, and he waived his right to it. Unless he said this out of anger. If he said this out of anger, not out of a generous spirit, then if he does not accept it, you must give it in charity. If he does not accept it, give it in charity.
