Question:
What is the ruling on one who takes people's rights in the form of debts and does not repay them, and when they demand them, he disputes with them and insults them?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People's wealth is forbidden to a person. Indeed, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are inviolable upon you. So it is not permissible for a person to take from people or benefit from them and not repay, while he is able to repay. This is injustice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who delays the obligatory is an oppressor. Its exposure and punishment... and the one who has the means is the rich, and what that means is delay.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever takes people's wealth intending to repay it, Allah will repay it for him in this world and the Hereafter. And whoever takes people's wealth intending to destroy it, Allah will destroy him in this world and the Hereafter.
من أخذ أموال الناس يريد أداءها أدى الله عنه في الدنيا والآخرة، ومن أخذ أموال الناس يريد إتلافها أتلفه الله في الدنيا والآخرة،
