The Ruling on Taking a Fee for a Guarantee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the guarantor says to me, “I will not guarantee you unless you pay me a fee,” and I am in need of him because the seller has specifically stipulated him and no one else, is it permissible for me to give him something?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to take money for guaranteeing a debt, because guaranteeing is a contract of spending and benevolence, so it is not permissible to take a fee for it.
