The ruling on one who admits to borrowing and then claims to have repaid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is your opinion regarding a man who gave another man a loan of money, and after a period of time passed, he went to him to recover the debt?So the debtor said to him: "I gave you your debt," and they differed on this, so what is the ruling?
If he admits to having borrowed but claims to have repaid, it becomes with us an admission and a claim; he admitted that he had a debt and claimed that he had repaid it. So we take him by his admission and do not accept his claim unless he brings evidence.By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (The burden of proof is on the claimant).
