Is it obligatory to stop memorizing the Qur’an if the failure to pay a previous debt causes forgetfulness and unanswered prayers?

Do not stop memorizing the Qur'an and performing good deeds, and you must repent for not giving what is due to its rightful owners. True repentance involves resolving to return what is due when one is able to do so. A repentant person is not punished for their sin; rather, they are beloved to Allah. Strive in repentance and returning what is due according to your ability, and in memorizing the Qur'an and acting upon it, and its blessings will descend upon you.
