Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His final question is: Is it permissible for a guarantor who is in debt to take from the zakah?

Answer:
If he is unable to pay the debt and the guarantee, and he was compelled—meaning, ordered by the judge to pay it—and he is unable to pay it, then he takes from the zakah because he is in debt. Yes.
