In Islamic teachings, if a person inherits a debt from a deceased relative, they are responsible for settling the debt using the deceased’s estate before any inheritance is distributed. The debt should be paid from the wealth left behind by the deceased, if available. If the estate is insufficient, the heirs are not personally obligated to pay the debt unless they willingly choose to do so. Prioritizing debt repayment is considered important in Islam, as clearing debts is necessary for the deceased’s spiritual well-being.
