747. PERMISSION TO INCUR DEBT WHEN IN NEED

2310.الإمامُ الكاظمُ عليه السلام : مَن طَلَبَ هذا الرِّزقَ مِن حِلِّهِ لِيَعودَ بهِ عَلى‏ نفسِهِ وعِيالِهِ كانَ كالمُجاهِدِ في سبيلِ اللَّهِ عزّ وجلّ ، فإن غَلَبَ علَيهِ فَلْيَستَدِنْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وعَلى‏ رسولِهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله ما يَقوتُ بهِ عِيالَهُ .¹

2310.Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, 'One who seeks to gain sustenance for himself and his family in a lawful manner is as the one who fights in the way of Allah. But if he is unable to do so he may incur debt, trusting in Allah and His Prophet, in order to ensure provisions for his family.' ²
