Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I took five thousand pounds from a person as a loan, and now I want to return it. He told me that the dollar was at one rate, but now it is at a higher new rate, and he wants to take it back at the new rate. Is this permissible for him?
Answer:
This is a dispute. This is a dispute that you go to the court to settle between you. Yes.
