Abstract

Debt is all unspecified money that is fixed in the obligation, or that is likely to be proven in it, and it is an obligatory right in the money, and it must be paid immediately if the time becomes due, and the Sharia has made it an advantage and priority in the money of the taxpayer, and this priority has left a number of effects on other rights. Either by dropping these rights, or delaying and postponing them so as not to affect the performance of the debt.
Jurisprudential studies have proven the effect of religion on the rights of people, and this study aimed to prove the effect of religion on the worship that is obligatory for God, such as prayer, zakat, Hajj and vows. The zakat base, and this effect appeared in the deduction of the corresponding debts from the zakat base, as the study showed that the debt has an effect in determining the capacity required for the obligation of Hajj, and this effect appeared among the majority of jurists in disbursing the ability to the virtuous money without the money preoccupied with debt, and there is a dispute regarding Giving precedence to the debt of a human being over vows and other similar debts of God if they are crowded in the inheritance, but in the event that these debts are crowded with the money of the bankrupt, then the debtor is the debt of the creditors, and this ruling shows the legal priority that the debt has acquired.
