Is a deceased person exempted from a loan debt owed to the state by virtue of a royal decree, without submitting the official papers required for its discharge? And is the son who promised his siblings to pursue the discharge of the loan for their deceased father, but failed to do so, sinful?

The absolution of the deceased from their debts is contingent upon obtaining forgiveness from the authorized entity, whether through a comprehensive royal pardon or specific procedures. If forgiveness is not obtained, the debt remains an obligation upon the deceased. The children must ensure that forgiveness is granted; otherwise, they must repay the debt because the soul of the son of Adam remains suspended by his debt until it is paid off. The son who neglected to follow up on the matter fell short in his duty to his father and broke his promise, and this is characteristic of hypocrites.
