Abstract
THE IMPACT OF THE CHANGE IN THE VALUE OF THE PAPER CURRENCY IN DEBT
The origin in this matter is that the creditor must repay the exact debt, and it is not a matter of cheapness or the high price, which is the view of the majority of Fuqaha' and the view of the Islamic Fiqh Academy, Abu Youssef from the Hanafi School said that money amount must be repaid in cheapness and expensiveness, but there is another say combines the both and it was accepted by some modern scholars and it says that the creditor must repay the debt if the change is insignificant but if the change became huge and the amount of money lost its cash value then the repay must be with the true value of the debt, and the best solution for this matter is connecting the debts contracts with the value of the gold to get rid of the problems related to changes in currency value and Allah only know.
