The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) clarified that true bankruptcy isn't financial poverty, but a deficiency in fulfilling rights owed to others. A person may perform numerous prayers, fasts, and pilgrimages, yet be considered bankrupt if they have wronged others through theft, slander, or abuse. On the Day of Judgment, the wronged will claim compensation from the wrongdoer's good deeds. If those deeds are exhausted, the wrongdoer will bear the burden of the wronged’s sins, ultimately facing punishment in Hell. This highlights the importance of justice and accountability.
