Taking a fee for guaranteeing a debt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man asked me to guarantee him for a debt. Is it permissible for me to take a fee for this guarantee?

Answer:
No. Guaranteeing is an act of kindness, and one does not take a fee for an act of kindness. Yes.
