Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA):

A man who had died in debt would be brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he would ask, "Has he left anything to discharge his debt?" If he was told that he left enough he would pray over him.

So, whoever dies leaving a debt, the responsibility for repaying it shall be upon me." [Agreed upon].
