Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for the children of the deceased to pay his debt?
Answer:
Paying the debt is obligatory from the estate if he has an estate. As for if he does not have an estate, it is recommended (mustahabb) for his children, or his relatives, or other Muslims to pay it on his behalf, but it is not obligatory for them to do so; rather, this is among the recommended acts.
