It is not your responsibility to pay off his DEBTS. If you do that willingly, you will be rewarded. As for his punishment, if he had the intention not to return it or he had the means to give it back but didn’t, he will be punished.

Suppose If my brother has some DEBT and he died before pay it and he suggested me to pay his debt. And the amount is big so it may take some time to return may be one year or more. Now in this in between period he will be punished in the grave until we pay it? Please explain.

If you do business and buy a product for say Rs.100 and you sell for Rs 120? In Islam what is the rule of gaining profit?Should it be nominal after adding the other expenses on it or can we take more?
