A debtor who has died without making a will that his debt should be repaid?

Q 2: What is the ruling on a debtor who has died without making a will that his debt should be repaid?


A2: If the deceased has an estate, his debt should be paid out of it even if he had not left a will to do so. If he has no inheritance, it is Mustahab (desirable) for his heirs or other virtuous people to voluntarily pay his debt on his behalf. Otherwise, the debt will remain due on him.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
