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
