Fiqh 3.68<br />

Debtors<br />

People burdened by debts and unable to pay them are of several kinds: those who took upon themselves responsibility to<br />

discharge a debt; those who guaranteed debts of others and therefore, upon default, the debts have become their obligation;<br />

those who m<strong>ism</strong>anaged their finances, those who borrowed money because they had to; or those who were involved in sinful<br />

acts and then repented, and who had to pay a fine for repentance. All of them may take sadaqah to meet their debts.<br />

Anas reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: "Asking for sadaqah is permissible only for the following three<br />

classes [of people]:<br />

1. those who are in abject poverty,<br />

2. those who have severe debts, or<br />

3. those who incurred it in the payment of blood money [on behalf of a relative or friend]." This is related by Ahmad, Abu<br />

Dawud, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmidhi. The latter grades it hasn.<br />

Muslim relates from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that a man made a bad deal on fruit and then ran into heavy debt. The Prophet, upon<br />

whom be peace, recommended: "Give him sadaqah." Then the people gave him sadaqah. However, he still had some debt<br />

left over. Thereupon, the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said to creditors: "Take what you get . . ."<br />
