A: The judge will detain him for every debt which generated wealth in his hands such as proceeds of a sale and loans; also for every debt incurred by contract such as dowry and Kafalah. He will not be detained for anything else such as compensation for usurpation and fines and blood-money, unless there is proof that he has wealth.
