Forgot the people from whom the loan had been taken.
I have forgotten about some people from whom I have taken, with and without permission, money or equivalent goods and never returned. I have also forgotten the amount. What should I do in this situation?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Dear friend,
First of all, repent profusely. Then try to remember and make an estimate of the things you took and try remembering the people you took from, return them their things what and if you remember otherwise give as much as you can in charity to the poor, Allah willing this charity will benefit the owner with the reward and rid you of the burden of your bad deeds.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
