The answer

The husband must return to his wife what he borrowed from her, and it is not permissible for him to procrastinate while he is able to pay, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The procrastination of the rich is injustice." As for the guardianship of children, it is a legal matter determined by the Lawgiver, and the husband takes precedence in guardianship over his children as long as he meets the conditions. If he loses guardianship, recourse should be made to the judge. To compel the husband to return the debt, recourse can be made to the judiciary.
