The answer

You are not obligated to repay the money to your employer because he did not fulfill the agreed-upon condition, which was his waiver of the lawsuit against the debtor. Therefore, he has no right to demand payment from you. Imam Al-Shafi'i said: "If the guarantee was conditional, then the creditor has the right to hold the guarantor to what was stipulated for him, not to what was not stipulated for him."
