The debt remains due on the deceased until the creditor forgives it or it is paid back on his behalf


353

Q 2: My father died owing some money to people. Some of them has absolved him from the debt, and I managed to repay the debt due to some creditors and asked the rest to absolve my father's obligation on the understanding that I shall pay them back later. Is this permissible? What is the ruling concerning this matter?


A2: The debt remains due on the deceased until the creditor forgoes it or it is paid back on his behalf. His responsibility is not discharged once another person has taken upon himself to repay it. Thus be mindful, may Allah grant you success, to repay it in order for the deceased to rest in peace.May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions!
