Paying the Father's Debt or Providing for the Brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away and left behind a debt, and I have paternal brothers,
The Shaykh:
Yes, he passed away.
The questioner:
and he left behind a debt, and I have paternal brothers. So, which is better: should I pay my father's debt, or should I provide for my brothers? Knowing that the money I have is not enough for both matters.
The Shaykh:
You should provide for your young and minor brothers. You should provide for them and pay the debt, so that Allah may make it easy for him at another time.
