Is it permissible to pay off an usurious loan from an usurious uncle as a debt owed to him, in order to spare the guarantors the seizure of their assets, and is there any prohibition in that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in paying off your uncle's debt if it does not encourage him to take out more usurious loans, especially if he regrets his usurious borrowing. It is recommended to advise him and his guarantors to repent and abstain from usurious transactions.
