Bank Guarantee
My friend wants to buy gold for her son's fiancée, who is about to get married, and she wants me to guarantee her because my salary is in the Islamic bank. She has specified the set she wants to buy and brought an invoice from the seller to complete the purchase, with me as the guarantor. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Guaranteeing is permissible in itself, but there is concern due to people's behavior and their failure to fulfill their obligations, which can lead to many problems; therefore, it is preferable to avoid it unless necessary, and God knows best.
