Question:
In his second question, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Is it permissible for a guarantor who is in debt and responsible for the debt to take from the zakah?
Answer:
If he does not have what he needs to pay off his debt, and he is obligated to do so, he may take it, because he falls under the words of Allah the Exalted: "and those in debt." This is a person in debt for himself. Yes.
