Answer:
kith kin loan
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, if you have given
someone a loan, you are well within your rights in Islam to take every lawful
means to demand that your loan be returned back to you, including the help of
the law of the land; and there would be absolutely no blame or sin upon you.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah
Nahl verse 90:
90 Allah Commands justice the doing of good and liberality to
kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds and injustice and
rebellion: He instructs you that ye may receive admonition.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 24 Surah
Noor verse 22:
22 Let not those among you who are endued with grace and amplitude of
means resolve by oath against helping their relatives, those in
want and those who have left their homes in Allah's Cause: let them
forgive and overlook: do you not wish that Allah should forgive you?
For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
But because the money you loaned to was a close relative, and
Allah Subhanah had Commanded and Guided the believers to do good and be liberal
to their kith and kin…..if you could bring yourself to, only for the Sake and
Pleasure of Allah Subhanah, give them some more time to repay your loan, or if
at all possible, to forgive them a part or all of it….Allah is our witness
sister, that would be an act and deed of ‘ehsaan’ (over and above one’s call or
duty)….and Allah Subhanah absolutely loves those who do ‘ehsaan’.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 177:
177 It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces toward East or West;
but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels,
and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance out of love
for Him for your kin (relatives), for orphans, for the needy, for the
wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in
prayer and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have
made; and to be firm and patient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and
throughout all periods of panic. Such
are the people of Truth, the Allah-fearing.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.17 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (saws) said, "The word
'Ar-Rahm (womb) derives its name from Ar-Rahman (i.e., one of the Noble
Attributes of Allah) and Allah, High and Exalted is He, said: 'I will keep good
relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, (womb, i.e. kith
and kin) and sever the relation with him who will sever the relation with you,
(womb, i.e. kith and kin)!”
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.15 Narrated by Anas bin Malik
Allah 's Messenger (saws) said, "Whoever
loves that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be prolonged
then he should keep good relations with his kith and kin."
Thus in conclusion sister, you are well within your rights
to employ every lawful means, including the law of the land, to recover your
loan….and there would be absolutely no sin upon you. But if you could bring yourself to, only for
the Sake of Allah Subhanah, give them more time, or forgive a part or all of
the loan….Allah Subhanah will surely recompense you your loss in His Majestic
Presence on the Day of Judgment.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
