Claiming the Debt of Gold at Its Current Price

Question
A woman sold a gold bracelet to help her brother, and after years she demanded her bracelet back at the current price. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If you lend him gold, he is obliged to pay the value of the gold to her. If you lend him cash, he must pay her the amount of cash that he borrowed. If she tells him, for example, that she will sell the gold and give him its value, then the loan becomes gold at that time, and he is obliged to pay the value of the gold. And God knows best.
