I am indebted with 500 dirhams

Q 2: Somebody took a loan from somebody else, who intended not to pay back the debt. However, after Allah had guided him, he looked for the creditor to give him back his money but he could not find him; what should he do? (Part No. 13; Page No. 176) Somebody took loans from many people. The debtor wants to pay their debts back to the creditors. Nevertheless, the debtor does not recall who they are; what should they do?

A: Firstly: They have to pay the debt back to the creditor in case they can be found. Otherwise, in case the creditor died, the debt is to be delivered to their inheritors. Besides, the debtor should make Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and Istighfar (seeking forgiveness from Allah) for what happened. Secondly: They have to do their best to identify the creditors then they should give their money back to them or to their inheritors in case the creditors have died. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
