A man bought cloth from a seller, did not complete the price, and the seller did not forgive him the remainder. After some time, he wanted to pay him but could not find him; what should he do?

The questioner : He says: I bought cloth from a seller, and I told him: Forgive me when I travel. He said to me: I will not forgive you, I will not forgive you, neither in this world nor the Hereafter. And I had money, he means cash, right?

Another questioner: PresentThe questioner ؟

The questioner : This is what he says: I had money, as if he said to the seller: I don’t have cash or anything, forgive me if I don’t come, if I travel.

The Shaykh : Yes, they said he did not forgive him, okay, what is the question?

The questioner : He says he took the cloth on credit and did not pay the seller.

The Shaykh : He must pay and use every possible means to deliver the right to its owner. If he claims that he does not know or cannot find him, let him give charity. If he is able one day, the charity will be for him, and he gives the right to its owner.

Another questioner : This one traveled, traveled, this one traveled abroad, yes, the owner of the cloth, this one traveled.

The Shaykh : The owner of the cloth traveled? Yes, this is the same answer.

Another questioner : How is hugging, O Shaykh? Hugging?

The Shaykh : The answer, my brother, is that he is able to perform what remains in his debt to him, as the answer stated before. If he is able, it is obligatory upon him to deliver the right to its owner, meaning: to the cloth seller. If he is not able, let him give charity with the money the cloth seller is owed from him, with the intention that this charity is on behalf of the cloth seller. If he meets him one day, he gives him the right and the charity returns to him.
