Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to give charity while he has debts?
Answer:
No, charity that harms the debts is not permissible. As for a small amount of charity, giving a beggar a little, that is always fine. But what that diminishes the wealth and burdens the debts is not permissible. Debts are more binding. Yes.
