The ruling on one who lent something to a friend who did not return it, and then he intended it as charity

Question:
The questioner: I have a friend who took some things from me and did not return them, and I am shy to demand them from her. Is it permissible for me to intend from now on that they are charity for her?

Answer:
The Shaykh: There is no harm if you forgive her, may Allah reward you with good. Rather, inform her that you have released her from the debt and that you have forgiven her; this is good. And if you demand your right, there is nothing wrong with it. If you ask, you say: "O so-and-so! I hope you will return my right to me..." There is nothing wrong with that, praise be to Allah. And if you forgive her and release her from the debt, inform her, and you will have the reward of charity. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
