Q: I am inquiring in regards to business items I purchased from a supplier on a loan at a Business Expo. We had a mutual agreement to pay for the items on a later date. The supplier had provided me with his contact details to pay him back.
I had lost the suppliers number and cannot locate the person which I got the business items from. Also, I tried going to the Business Expo next year but the person did not come back the next year. I have tried going there for the past 4 years at the expo and the person has not come there. I am not sure if he has any relatives or friends either.
Please advise what I can do in regards to the money I owe him.
A: If despite making an effort to contact the person, you do not succeed in doing so, then you should give the amount in charity on his behalf.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
