"Taqāss" and "muqāssah" (debt clearing/debt set-off) is a method of settling debts. It is to drop a debt that is due upon the debtor in return for dropping a similar debt that is due upon the creditor to that debtor, with certain conditions. It is of two types: 1. Optional: this occurs with the mutual consent of the two parties. 2. Compulsory: this occurs without a request or mutual consent of the two parties.
