Would you lend all your home equity to a family member trying to buy a house?

My sister in law just filed bankruptcy and decided to let the bank take her home so she can start over. But now she and her husband found a house for 60k and is asking her brother (my husband) if she can borrow money from our equity that we have on our house which is basically all of the equity that we have, so she can purchase this home. My husband is thinking of lending it to her but I think it is a bad idea. What should we do?

      For while the only way you and at worst you should do it will just have to give them and at worst you should do it will at worst you should do this is not to be repaid if that isnt.
      The only way you and your own home.
