The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a father lends money to his son, and then his son needs it.
The Shaykh:
A relative.
The questioner:
The father lent money to his son, and then his other son needed a loan, and the father refused. Does he sin by doing so?
The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory for the father to lend to the second one, but it is obligatory for him to take the loan; he should collect what he has left for him, unless he intends to give the others the same amount. It is not obligatory for the father to take this money and collect it from the debtor, who is his debtor son. Yes.
