The Difference Between a Loan and a Debt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between a loan and a debt?

Answer:
A loan is a type of debt. A loan is a type of debt. Everything that is in your liability to people is a debt, whether it is a loan or not. Yes. I mean, a loan, or the price of a sale, or a rental. It is all a debt. Or a salary for an employee. It is all a debt in your liability. Or zakah, or a vow. It is all a debt, either to Allah or to the created beings. Everything that becomes obligatory in your liability is a debt to Allah or to the created beings. Yes.
