This page concludes the study of kafala (guarantee) and daman in the fiqh encyclopedia al-Mawsua al-fiqhiyya. Seventeen sheets are faithfully translated here: guarantee by the body of a condemned person, the conditions of the daman formula, the guarantor's recourse against the guaranteed person, the fate of the deceased's debt, offsetting (muqassa), transfer of debt (hawala), and the question of remuneration of the guarantor. The positions of the four schools are reported with their classical references in parentheses, and the hadiths with their takhrij.
