The Ruling on Promising to Repay a Debt Without Certainty
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Because right now you do not have it in Islam, but if Allah wills, it will be facilitated during the known vacation.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that, and he must be truthful, careful, and diligent in fulfilling the promise and the due date, and not delay if he is able.
The questioner:
One who intends it and knows, and knows, intends in his heart to fulfill it, but knows the possibility of not fulfilling it.
The Shaykh:
If Allah wills, his intention is to fulfill it, and there are causes he will work on, praise be to Allah. But if he knows he has nothing, he does not deceive himself. But if he does not hope that something will come to him, he hopes that a profit will come from his property, he has a happiness that will come to him, he has assistance he hopes for causes, then there is no harm.
The questioner:
But what has been transmitted are hadiths regarding the virtue of persistence.
The Shaykh:
Knowing love. Yes. Yes.
