Surety, An obligation in addition to an existing obligation in respect of a demand for something. Lit: responsibility or suretyship. It is a covenant or pledge given. Legally, a third party becomes surety for the payment of a debt of another. Suretyship in Shari’ah is the creation of an additional liability with regard to a claim, not to the debt or the assumption only of a liability and not of the debt. A person providing surety or a guarantor is known as Kafil. Islamic banks use Kafalah to issue guarantees for their business customers, for example, the bank may guarantee the customer’s standing to facilitate any business endeavours that may require such guarantees, or the bank may give a surety to the owner of a ship or the shipping agent, to discharge goods imported by a customer on arrival of the carrying ship, pending receipt of the original shipping documents before the customer can take delivery of the imported goods. Also, known as Kifalah.
