Grand Ayatollah Shirazi: Peaceful Settlement Is Permissible in Cases of Necessity, Not Under Coercion or Duress
\n————————————————-
\nThe daily scholarly session of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq al-Husayni al-Shirazi was held on Monday, 18 Jumada al-Awwal 1447 AH.<\/p>\n
As in previous sessions, the Supreme Marja responded to various jurisprudential questions raised by attendees.<\/p>\n
Addressing the Islamic legal ruling on reconciliation (sulh) in matters of debt, Grand Ayatollah Shirazi explained that classical jurisprudential texts, including Sharh al-Lum\u2018a, state that sulh is permissible whether the amount owed is precisely known or not.<\/p>\n
He elaborated with an example: \u201cIf a person owes another one thousand dinars but agrees to settle the debt for eight hundred dinars, and the creditor accepts this arrangement, such a settlement is valid.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Grand Ayatollah further emphasized that \u201creconciliation (sulh) is permissible in situations of necessity, but not under compulsion or coercion. A settlement reached through force or duress is invalid and does not discharge one\u2019s obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
