Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, what is the form of the debtor for the sake of reconciliation?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : He has money, whether he is unable to pay or even if he is able.
The questioner : Even if he is able.
The Shaykh : Even if he is able. Well done. The debtor for the sake of reconciliation means that there is some enmity, hatred, and discord between two tribes, and a peacemaker stands up to reconcile the two parties by paying them money. He comes to us to inform us, and we give him from the zakah, meaning we give him this debt he incurred from the zakah, even if he is rich, because this is a debt for himself and not for another? For another. As for the debtor for himself, we do not pay off his debt unless he is poor and does not find what to pay it with.
