from the borrower’s liability. Shaykh Taqi al-Din (Ibn Taymiyyah) and Ibn al-Qayyim, however, maintained that the borrower should repay the debt according to its current value, as if the ruler had withdrawn the original coins from circulation. Shaykh ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhammad remarked, “That opinion is the stronger one.” Shaykh Taqi al-Din further applied this principle to all other forms of debt, and many of our scholars concurred with him.
