A man has a debt of about R50000.

Question

A man has a debt of about R50000. He owns 1 house only. With the salary that he receives he is capable of paying the debt. He says qurbani is not waajib on him, but wants to do for each of his grandchildren as a sadaqah. His children are aware of his debts but remain silent. Is this correct?

Answer

If Qur'baani is not Waajib on him, then it is not permissible for him to give Sadqah and make Qur'baani when he has a debt of R50,000. It is Waajib for him to use the money to pay his debt.
