The Difference in the Value of Debt at Repayment
If he borrowed one hundred dinars from his neighbor sixty years ago and has not repaid it, and now he wants to clear his debt, should he repay the hundred or more, knowing that the value has changed?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: He should repay the value of what he borrowed before (60) years; due to the significant change in the value of money over such a long time, and God knows best.
