It is recommended to supplicate frequently, seek much forgiveness, and ask Allah for wealth, relief, and the settlement of debt. Supplication is one of the best acts of worship, seeking forgiveness brings sustenance, and marriage can be a cause of wealth. One should also persistently supplicate to Allah with prophetic prayers for the settlement of debt, the dispelling of worry, and the expansion of sustenance, while also taking the necessary means and striving to repay debts. For whoever intends to repay and strives therein, Allah will repay on their behalf.
