The ruling on one who forgets the amount of his debt

Question:
Or the Shaykh comes and he likes to borrow a debt, then he asks about the debt: how is it to be paid here, or is it to be sent?

Answer:
If a person borrows a debt and forgets its amount, he asks the creditor: he asks the creditor, "How much do you know you are owed?" If there is someone who has witnessed it, he asks them, meaning he inquires about it; he asks the creditor and asks those who have knowledge of it. If he is unable to determine the amount of the debt, and the creditor says, "I do not know," and there are no witnesses to inform us of this matter, then it is estimated and they reconcile. He reconciles with the owner of the debt, he reconciles with the owner of the debt, and they show leniency toward each other in that matter, each of them making concessions to the other. The creditor says, "Release me, if I gave you a certain amount, if there was a certain amount," and the debtor says, "Release me, if this is less than your right," so they reconcile and show leniency toward each other, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to this. He said that if the heirs have among them ambiguous inheritances and they do not know their amounts, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to consult regarding this and to show leniency toward one another. Yes.
