سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ دَيْنٌ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَيَأْتِيهِ غَرِيمُهُ فَيَقُولُ انْقُدْنِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ أَضَعُ عَنْكَ بَقِيَّتَهُ أَوْ يَقُولُ انْقُدْنِي بَعْضَهُ وَ أَمُدُّ لَكَ فِي الْأَجَلِ فِيمَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ لَا أَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَزْدَدْ عَلَى رَأْسِ مَالِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَكُمْ رُؤُسُ أَمْوالِكُمْ لا تَظْلِمُونَ وَ لا تُظْلَمُونَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the man who happened to have a debt upon him to a specified term. So his creditor came to him and he said, ‘Pay me back such and such (an amount), and I shall write off the remainder from you’, or ‘extend for you the term regarding what remains upon you’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not see any problem with it. It does not increase upon the capital of his wealth. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h279"><a href="/books/quran:2#h279">[2:279]</a></a> then you shall have your capital; neither shall you deal unjustly no will you be Dealt with unjustly</span>’.
