The Meaning of the Statement: "A Debt Is Due Immediately, Even If It Is Deferred"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We previously studied in the Matn al-Zad that "a debt is due immediately, even if it is deferred." Today, it was mentioned that a deferred debt does not become due by his statement?

Answer:
"A debt is due immediately, even if it is deferred." What is due immediately, even if deferred, remains deferred; it does not become due. This phrase is specific; it is not a general rule for all debts. Yes, but a loan—a loan is due immediately, even if it is deferred. A loan is the one that does not allow deferral; it is due immediately, even if deferred. As for the prices of sales that accept deferral, yes.
