Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: My grandfather (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away, and I have money of his that I lent him. I learned after his death that he had a debt.
The Shaykh:
He passed away.
The questioner:
He says: My grandfather (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away, and I have money of his that I lent him. I learned after his death that he had a debt. So, do I pay off his debt from his money that is with me, or is it a right belonging to his heirs?
The Shaykh:
Look, this agent is the agent of the deceased; he is a person who has been appointed. You pay him to the agent. And if he was not appointed, the judge looks into this matter, and the judge delivers the thing to its owner, and delivers the inheritance to the heirs. Yes.
