A Person Dies Owing a Debt with a Fixed Repayment Time

Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) say that when a person passes away and he has a debt for a fixed term, then his debt will be paid immediately.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin was asked: If a person passes away and he has a debt for a fixed period? He replied: When his heirs assure the creditor of payment, then the same period will apply as was fixed by the deceased. Hasan says that when the debtor dies, the debt must be paid immediately.

22386 - And (al-Hasan) said (1): If he dies, then his debt becomes due.

Hasan and Hazrat Ibn Sirin state that if a debtor passes away or becomes insolvent, then whatever was due from him will become obligatory from that very moment.

Ibrahim says that if a debtor dies or becomes insolvent, then whatever was due from him will become obligatory from that very moment.

Hazrat Ibn Shihab, Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Muhammad, and Hazrat Saad bin Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with them) say that the heirs will pay the debt within the appointed time.

Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when the heirs assure the payment, then it will be paid at the appointed time.

Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that there is no condition for the deceased.
