What we mentioned in No. 92867 regarding a alternative for selling a bond is that the bondholder should agree with a trustworthy person to collect the bond's value for a known fee. This contract is a lease () contract, where the hired person pays the collected bond value to its owner and takes his fee in return for following up on the collection. This is permissible according to Shariah, just like appointing someone to follow up on collecting a debt for you from others for an agreed-upon fee.
