Definition & Evidence

**Definition:** Transferring debt from the transferor's liability to the liability of the one transferred to. **Legality:** It is legislated for the ease, mutual benefit among the Ummah, tolerance, and facilitation of transactions. **Evidence:** - **Hadith of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه:** The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If one of you is referred (for debt) to a wealthy person, let him accept the transfer" [Bukhari & Muslim] **Meaning:** If the debtor transfers his creditor to a wealthy person, the creditor should accept the transfer. If the debtor transfers to an insolvent person, the creditor can claim his right from the one who transferred him, because insolvency is a defect and he didn't consent to it, so he has the right to return.
