Question:
This questioner says: The hadith "Whoever is referred to a solvent person, let him follow." We would like you to clarify this hadith?
Answer:
The hadith is clear. If you have a debt due from a person, and he refers you to a debt he has with another person, and the one referred to is solvent—meaning he is not delaying payment and is not poor, so your right is guaranteed with him—then you are required to accept the transfer. "Whoever is referred to a solvent person, let him follow" is the meaning of this. However, if the one referred to is someone from whom you cannot obtain your right, because he is delaying payment or because he is poor, then you do not accept the transfer. Yes.
