Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. I received a message from Algeria from a listener who used the initials A-A-J for his name. He says: A friend of mine passed away, and I owe him some money. What should I do to clear my conscience?
Answer:
You are required to pay the money you owe him to his heirs. You pay it to his heirs because it has become theirs. If the deceased dies, his property transfers to his heirs, including the money you have that belongs to him, so you hand it over to his heirs. Yes.
