Listen, you all who have believed When from one another you borrow For a named term, then write it down.
And a writer among you should write it down with fairness. And no writer should refuse to write down As Allah has taught him, so he should write.
And he against whom the obligation is (= the borrower) should dictate. And he should do duty to Allah, His God the Provident, And he should not omit anything from it.
Then if he against whom the obligation is Of poor intellect, or weak and old, or unable to dictate himself Then his guardian should dictate with fairness.
And get evidence of two witnesses from your men. Then if there are no two men available Then one man and two women That you agree upon from among the witnesses So that if one of the two errs Then the other of the two can remind.
And the witnesses should not refuse when they are demanded to testify. And never be unwilling to write it Be it small or large till its term (all the way to its end or due date).
This is fairer with Allah And stronger as evidence And nearer to you having no doubts
Except when it has been a trade of a ready merchandise That you have done by exchanging info among you. Then it is no sin on you that you do not write it.
And get witnesses when you mutually trade. And never a scribe or witness be hurt, harmed or injured And if you do that, then certainly it is a disobedience by you.
And do your duty to Allah. And Allah teaches you the best way to trade. And Allah knows everything well.
