Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on this phrase that is written in some transactions: “Guarantor for a debtor”?

Answer:
No, no, he is not a debtor. A guarantor does not become liable for the debt. If they call him a debtor, he has become a surety. We do not call him a guarantor; we call him a surety. Yes.
