The Difference Between a Loan and a Debt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a difference between a debt and a loan, O Shaykh?

Answer:
A loan is a type of debt. Debt is a general term. The price of a sale, if it is deferred, is a debt. A loan is a debt. The value of destroyed items, if it remains in the debtor's liability, is a debt. Wages, if they remain in the debtor's liability, are a debt. And so on. Thus, a loan is a type of debt.
