Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a wealthy traveler to return what he took from charity after he returns to his country?
Answer:
Yes, they say that the mujahid, the traveler, and the debtor for the purpose of reconciling people, all of them return it, and likewise the debtor for himself when he pays off the debt; all of them return the surplus because they did not take it as ownership, but rather they took it only to pay off the debt. They did not take it as ownership, so they return the surplus. Yes.
