Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is there a difference between the contract of guarantee (kafalah) and the contract of security (dhaman)?
Answer:
Kafalah concerns persons. For example, if someone is subject to a hudud punishment or has committed a crime, you say, "Release him, and I will take responsibility for him; I will bring him." This is a guarantee of the person. As for dhaman, it concerns wealth; you guarantee the rights owed to others. Yes.
