What is meant by verse (281) of Surah Al-Baqarah, does it include a goodly loan, and what are the conditions for writing a trust receipt?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Verse of Debt aims to document transactions and debts in writing and with witnesses, and a good loan is included therein. Ibn Abbas mentioned that it was revealed specifically for salam transactions, and then encompassed all debts. Writing and witnessing are recommended. The receipt of trust should contain the names of the creditor and debtor and their signatures, specify the amount or item with its descriptions, mention the due date and place of payment, and include the presence of two or more witnesses with proof of their testimony.
