Repaying Debts During Currency Collapse

Question
How can debts owed due to trade or lending be repaid during a major currency collapse?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: A significant drop in the value of many currencies occurs due to economic, political, or military conditions, and there are debts among people before the drop. Based on the statement of Abu Yusuf, it is possible to return the value on the day of the contract, but this applies only if the drop is substantial. As for the usual fluctuations in prices, the agreed amount should be returned; otherwise, we would fall into severe hardship and significant disputes. Our Sheikh Al-Othmani said in the jurisprudence of sales (2: 733): "There is no doubt that there is an urgent need to address the situation of some currencies that have experienced an unusual collapse, such as the Lebanese and Turkish lira and the Russian ruble, as they have decreased by more than one hundred percent in short periods. However, their problem cannot be solved by linking them to a price list; rather, contemporary jurists should consider whether such a collapse can be regarded as akin to a recession, and whether the ruling should be to pay their value in gold or silver. Because in the countries where such a collapse has occurred, people have stopped dealing in the local currency, especially in deferred transactions, and this ruling cannot be regulated by a general rule, but rather each currency's situation should be examined according to its circumstances," and God knows best.
