Waiving a loan without informing the borrower
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: Is it permissible to waive a loan without informing the borrower?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible to waive it even if you do not inform the borrower. If he comes to you wanting to repay and fulfill the debt, then inform him that you have waived it from him. Yes.
The questioner:
Then, may Allah protect you, he asks: And if he refuses the waiver, do I have the right to take it from him after that?
The Shaykh:
If he refuses the waiver, what?
The questioner:
Do I have the right to take it from him after that?
The Shaykh:
Waive what?
The questioner:
Waive the loan, huh? The loan.
The Shaykh:
If he refuses the waiver, that is what you mean.
The questioner:
He forgave him.
The Shaykh:
He forgave him, but the debtor does not accept the forgiveness; he wants to pay the loan. Take it and give it in charity.
