Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Salim, says: What is the reward due for facilitating matters for the one in financial difficulty? I have been asking a person for a sum of money for years, and he has not paid it off because of his financial difficulty.
Answer:
Allah the Exalted and Majestic said, and He means the debtor:[Al-Baqarah 2:280] That is, give him time until he is able to pay. You have the reward in that, since you were lenient with your brother and sought the reward from Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
