Is the value of the loan to be repaid as it was, or is the increase in the price of gold to be divided between the lender and the borrower?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mortgagee is only entitled to the amount of his debt, and his debt is not related to an increase or decrease in the value of the mortgaged item. Therefore, you are not obligated to return to the borrower more than the amount of money he lent you.
