The Ruling on Pledging a Personal Identification Card
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : I will clarify the opportunity, if Allah wills.
Answer : Yes, this is well known. That is, if a person pledges his personal identification card or something similar that is not money, but the person needs it, the school of thought holds that it is not valid, and the second opinion is that it is valid, because we say that in contracts of authentication, leniency is granted regarding the purpose. We mentioned this in the principles of jurisprudence and explained it to you. Yes, it is authenticated by the pledge.
