Guarantee and its meaning.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : A guarantee is when a person commits to bringing the body of the guaranteed person. Note that the guarantor commits to bringing the body of the guaranteed person, not to the debt he owes. The difference between it and surety is that in surety, the surety is liable for the debt, whereas in a guarantee, the guarantor is liable for bringing the body of the guaranteed person, whether he pays or does not pay. So, which is the stronger form of security? Surety or guarantee? There is no god but Allah. The surety guarantees the right, whether the person for whom he gave surety is present or not. The guarantee commits to bringing the body, whether he pays or does not pay. So, which is the stronger form of security? Surety is undoubtedly stronger, because if the guarantor brings the guaranteed person and hands him over to the creditor, he is released and his liability is cleared, whether the guaranteed person pays him or not. It is possible that the guaranteed person does not pay. Therefore, surety is a stronger form of security than a guarantee.
