Creditor waving off the debt

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2017-10-28 15:49

Q: I want to ask a question about qarz. Once when I was younger like 10 years old, I asked my friend for some money and he gave it but today I heard if you don't pay back the money, you are in trouble with Allah Ta'ala and are going to get punished after death but I am pretty sure that friend said he doesn't need the money and I don't have to repay him because he's my friend so do I still have to pay him his money back? It was like 1 pound only.

Q: I borrowed a person 100 000 Rands which he has not paid. I take out sadaqah every month of 5000 Rands. Can I take that sadaqah for myself and offset it off his account? If he does pay one day, then I will give that away as the sadaqah?

Creditors forfeiting their right

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2017-10-16 06:32

Q: I have taken a loan from some people. I have also done coaching under some teachers without paying them. It has been quite some years (i.e. almost 4) and now I have the capability to pay them back. But unfortunately, as I am seeing, some of them whom I have met to return their deserved money, they do not want to take it back! I had to beg them to accept the money. They just would not take it! They say, "Never mind, you don't have to give it back. Oh come on! Leave it. I have a lot of money, I do not need to money," and so forth. I feel that if they do not take it back that means I have not paid them the money back! So, after a long request they do. Please help me! I am about to meet my teachers and they are probably going to win! What will I do afterwards! What can they do instead of taking the lent money? Please help me Shaikh. Jazak Allah khair in advance. Please help me out!
