Question : That is, a person in debt has a debt that becomes due in six months. Is it permissible to pay his debt before it becomes due?
Answer : This requires a distinction. If we know that this debtor will not be able to pay when the debt becomes due, we pay it for him, and there is no blame on him. But if we know that he is able to pay, for example, if he has a good salary and will pay when the debt comes due, then we do not give it to him, because he does not need the debt. Yes, he does not need the payment.
