He died and he did not inform anyone of his Debt

Question :

A person died while owing a debt and he did not inform anyone of that. So, what is the ruling?

Answer:

If the deceased owes a debt and he did not inform anyone of it before he died, it is obligatory upon his heirs to repay it from whatever he left if the debt is confirmed by a legal proof that is given precedence over the will and the inheritance.

If the heirs and those who claim to be owed the debt dispute, then the matter is referred to the Shari'ah court.
