Q: I am a US citizen with a sizable debt in the UAE after leaving for health reasons. I sustained an injury that required rehabilitation. I do not like how I left the UAE. It eats me up inside. I miss my brothers/friends in the region. I wish to return to fulfil my obligations. Under fear of arrest, I can not dream of the UAE as home anymore. However, if I were to be given another chance for employment in Dubai, could I renegotiate new loan terms that would allow me to return? Thus paying my obligatory debt and satisfying my passion to do what is right? Thank you in advance. My salary in the UAE was substantial at over 47k/monthly. The new contract would be more. Give me some choices on what I should consider.

س: لدي قرض من بنك. كان المبلغ فوق ٣٠٠ ألف. الآن المبلغ تقريبًا ١١٠ ألف ولكني مُتعثِّر وغير قادر على السداد لما يقارب سنتين وخارج الدولة. هل ستكون هناك أحكام ضدي من البنك؟ هل يمكنني الرجوع إلى الدولة؟ هل يمكنني تقسيط المبلغ بقدر ألف درهم شهريًا إذ لا تسمح إمكانياتي بأكثر من ذلك؟

س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، صدر في شأني حكم مدني بتأدية مبلغ 155000 درهم في قضية قرض بنكي. هل يمكن طلب تقسيط المبلغ علمًا بأنه لا يتوفر لدي؟ وكم المدة القصوى المسموح بها في حالة التقسيط؟ وشكرًا!
