Settling a debt for a person who traveled to his country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I borrowed money from a resident, then he traveled to his country for a final departure. What should I do with this debt that I have for him? Should I give it to one of his relatives, or what should I do with it?
Answer:
If you trust the relative to whom you would send it, give it to him and tell him to deliver it to so-and-so. But if you do not trust anyone, keep the debt with you until he comes and asks for it or contacts you.
