My father passed away, and I came to know that he owed debts to many people. Some of these debts are documented in writing, and some are not. If one of my father’s acquaintances came to me claiming that my father had borrowed money from him, but without written proof, and he says he is willing to swear on the Qur’an that my father borrowed from him—am I required in this case to repay the amount if he swears?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if you gain reassurance and confidence in the claim of the one who asserts what you mentioned, then you must act upon that conviction. If you do not attain such certainty, then you and the claimant who alleges your father’s borrowing must present the matter before the legitimate religious authority so that the truth may be clarified, God willing. Allah is the Guide.
