Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to guarantee a Christian for a sum of money, or is this considered a matter of loyalty?
Answer:
No, they are not a matter of loyalty. This is a matter of dealing; we deal with them in trade and we deal with them[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8]. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to borrow, even from the Jews. He borrowed food from a Jew for his household (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no harm in that. Yes.
