Priority in Repayment When Debtors Overlap
A woman used to borrow money from her friend as a loan and give it to her husband for household expenses. Her daughters worked and gave her money to repay her debt, with the understanding that she would return to them what their father paid. The mother passed away before she could return their money. The father collected some money, so who has the right to this money: the mother's friend, the creditor, or the daughters?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The daughters and the mother's friend are entitled to the father's support, and they should be paid equally, and God knows best.
