Husband . Loan

I am having trouble paying back my student loans. Is my husband required to help me with those repayments?

It is good for your husband to help you as it is good for you to help him, but if you ask about the obligatory duty of your husband then the answer is: Husband is responsible to spend on all livelihood expenses of his wife including accommodation, food, clothing, medicine etc. He is not responsible to pay for your loans which you have taken for yourself and not for both of you or for your livelihood expenses.

Your student loan was taken by you and the money was received and spent by you and not spent by both of you. Had your husband spent any amount of that loan, either for his own expenses or on your livelihood expenses which is his responssibilty , he will be then responsible to repay that amount.

Loan

What happens if the person you owe money to forgets about the debt?

Muslim must give back the rights of others in any possible way. Debts should be written to save the rights of others as we read in Quran (O you who believe, when you take a loan for an agreed time, you should write it down) (2:282).

The person who gave the money should remind the person who took the loan and present evidence including witness or any other supporting evidence. If the person who took the money denies remembering the loan, he should be asked to take an oath by Allah that he did not take any amount.

Claimant needs to prove while opposite party needs to take oath. البيّنة على من إدّعى واليمين على من أنكر.

Khums . Loan

I had lent money to a person last year. Was it a deductible expense for that Khums year? He has repaid the loan this year. Do I now have to pay Khums immediately on the repaid amount or at the end of the current Khums year on whatever remains from it?

The amount which you lent last year was supposed to be calculated in your Khums of last year but as it was not with you, you did not pay its Khums. When you received it back, you must pay its Khums immediately.
