Question
Is it permissible to postpone debt repayment in order to spend on the children or for my daughter's marriage, or should I hasten to repay the debt and hinder my daughter's marriage?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The expenses for children take precedence over paying off debts because they are among the necessities and essentials, unlike the expenses for a daughter's marriage. You should seek permission from the creditors in this matter so that they may be satisfied and agree to postpone the debt. And God knows best.
