The ruling on praying over a deceased person who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With this blessed guidance, O Shaykh, we move on to a letter sent by the listener Safaa from the Arab Republic of Egypt. The questioner says: O Shaykh! Is it permissible to pray over a deceased person who has a debt?
Answer:
Yes, he should be prayed over, even if he has a debt. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) initially left that practice, then he prayed over them and paid off their debts—(peace and blessings be upon him). So, he should be prayed over, even if he has a debt. The heirs, or the executor, must strive to pay off his debt. It is obligatory for the heirs to hasten to pay off the debt, or for the executor, if he has one, to hasten to pay off the debt. Yes.
