Islamic Interpretation
Settling a debt in a vision signifies coming back from a journey. In dreams, debts represent disgrace, mistreatment, and verbal abuse. If one sees himself discharging his obligations, it means he will restore bonds with kin, reinforce family connections, provide food for the needy, resolve a complex issue, deepen his religious comprehension, or arrive home from travel. If one pays a debt in a dream that he does not recognize in waking life, such debts symbolize his sins, for which he is accountable, whether committed intentionally or not, and their repercussions will pursue him unless he repents. Consequently, he may endure worldly hardships, illness, penalties, or other losses. Fulfilling a debt or satisfying a rightful claim in a dream equates to feeding someone who is hungry, reuniting a family, or returning from a trip—and returning from a journey in a dream likewise means meeting a just demand.
