It is not permissible to obtain a guarantee from a bank or financial institutions if it stipulates the payment of money in return for that guarantee, because it ultimately becomes a loan that brings a benefit. This has been stated in Al-Insaf, that making a fee for a guarantee is not permissible, because he is a guarantor, and thus it becomes a loan that brings a benefit.
