The Ruling on a Father Lending to His Sons

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a father lends to one of his sons, is this included in the limit between them?

The Shaykh:
There is no harm; there is no harm in lending. What is forbidden is giving. As for lending, meaning if we are dealing with someone who has no assets, if everyone is in need and accepts the loan, they are the ones who hold it; he does not take this one and leave this one. We are old and so on. No, if they are all in need and take it, this is preservation; he takes this one and gives this one. No, he gives it to the son and it returns as authority. If they are all in need to settle, or he leaves them, but if one is in need and there is no deficiency in the transfer, let them be.

The questioner:
Meaning it is close to a gift?

The Shaykh:
If they ask for a loan, it is given. If they ask for a loan and their father is able, he lends to them. But if they all ask and they are all in need of a loan, he lends to them and does not leave them. In the fruit, the matter is resolved with caution. This came as hardship and struggle and struggle, all of it came with the meaning of retired, and a sound and good hadith.
