ANSWER:

You should take him to the cops if you have the paperwork where he had signed that you gave him this money or the bank transfer statements. If there are no witnesses and you don’t have a paper proving this, you have only yourself to blame! 

I helped a person out with money and in the end I helped him with over £5000 in money. I worked extremely hard for this money and he has not given any of my money back. I have asked him many times for it. He keeps saying he will return it and makes up excuses and lies. I will not go to anyone about this but I wanted to know will I ever get my money back? I have been making dua

I read a hadith that says there are three individuals that, when they supplicate to Allah (Azz’ Wa Jal), their supplication is not answered. One of them was a man to whom another man owes money and he does not have witnesses over him. Does this mean if you let somebody borrow money without having witnesses your dua are not accepted? If so how does one make up for this?
