Q&A: Debt Repayment after Currency Decreases

Question: Assalamu alaikum, who bears the difference in currency if the debtor delayed the repayment of the debt to the creditor without excuse for ten years, for example, whether the debt is a wage or loan?

If the debtor delays in the payment of the debt, then it is considered: If he is in hardship, the creditor must respite him until his financial conditions improve and he is able to repay the debt, as the Almighty said, عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلَى مَيْسَرَةٍ "And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease." (Al-Baqara: 280) وَإِنْ كَانَ ذُو  But if the debtor is capable to fulfil his debt but refrains from paying it, he is forced to fulfil the debt, and if he does not then he would be punished, acco

O Muslims: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has Approved the Type of the Flag and the Banner in Islam; Follow Him and you will Succeed

Q&A: The Postponement of Elections in Nigeria

Question: On 8/2/2015 CE, the Nigerian Electoral Commission announced the postponement of the presidential and legislative elections which were scheduled to take place on 14th February 2015; they have been postponed to 28th March 2015 under the pretext of internal security concerns... Is this the case? Or is this delay is for international reasons? And if so, which countries are influencing this delay? And what is expected for this election? I have noticed that the Hizb publications are almost devoid of talk about Nigeria's issues although it is the largest Muslim country in terms of population in Africa, and overlooks the ocean, and an oil producing country, so why is there no attention paid to it?
