Fatwa on Donating When Heirs Are Unknown
The Dar al-Ifta issued a fatwa clarifying the fate of a debt when it becomes impossible to locate its owner or heirs. It confirmed that the debt is an obligatory duty to pay according to Islamic law, and the debtor must make every effort to find the creditor in order to settle the debt. If, after sincere attempts, it remains impossible to find the creditor and the debtor passes away, the right transfers to the heirs, and the debtor is required to pay the debt to them. If it is not possible to reach the heirs, the money should be deposited with the Nasser Social Bank. If that is also not feasible, it is permissible to donate the value of the debt to the poor, with the intention of seeking reward for the rightful owner.
