Question:
Abu Basil from Jordan asks, may Allah bless you, about the pledge: what is its reality and what are its conditions?
Answer:
A pledge is the securing of a debt with a specific item from which the debt can be recovered, or from its sale price. It is a form of securing, and it is one of the types of securing in debts. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:283] after He the Exalted said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:6] you lent one another a debt [Al-Baqarah 2:282] So the types of securing in debts are: writing first, then the pledge second, then the guarantee third. These are the types of securing in debts. Yes.
May Allah reward you.
