Question:
A questioner says: If I transferred my debt to a solvent person, and then he did not pay and did not commit to settling it, do I owe anything, or is my liability cleared by that?
Answer:
Your liability is cleared by that, because at the time of the transfer he was solvent and wealthy. The difficulty came upon him after that. You owe nothing; the debt has been transferred.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
