MY FATHER PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR, AND BEFORE
HE DIED HE BORROWED A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE HE NEEDED THIS MONEY FOR URGENT THINGS AND HE
BORROWED WITH RIBA, BUT HE COULDN’T GIVE ALL PEOPLE THIS MONY BACK SO, WHAT CAN WE DO IF
WE -HIS SONS- we don’t have this amount of mony at moment, please reply me as soon as
possible because I worry about this matter. thanks.
Praise be to Allaah.
You should try to pay off your fathers loan as an act of respect
and kindness (birr) to him. Try also to repay only the original amount that your
father borrowed, without paying any extra interest, and advise the creditors to take only
the original amount. There is nothing wrong with negotiating with them about this, so long
as they receive their original loan and they neither treat others unjustly nor are
themselves treated unjustly.
Pray for forgiveness and mercy for your deceased
father.
