Is the father entitled to refuse to return a mortgaged piece of gold, on the grounds that its value is higher than the amount for which it was mortgaged?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Your mother is not permitted to refuse to return the gold piece held as collateral for the debt. Your father must return the gold to you if he has collected his debt from your husband, because the pledge is released when the debt is paid by someone else.
