What is the ruling on paying the price of a previous debt as a gift of gold when the female creditor gets married, with the intention of repaying the debt and without informing her, after the female creditor had placed the previously paid amount—intended for debt repayment—with charity funds because she did not remember the debt?

If the woman to whom the inquiring sister sent the debt informs the creditor that this is her debt and she accepts and receives it, then the inquiring sister's obligation is cleared. However, if she does not inform her, the debt remains her obligation because the fulfillment, which requires handing over the debt to the creditor and informing her that this is her debt, has not been achieved. It is not permissible to repay a debt by purchasing a gift for the creditor.
