Section: If the creditor absolves the debtor of the debt, the liability of the guarantor is absolved. We know of no disagreement regarding this, because he is a dependent (taba'), and because he is a form of documentation (wathiqa). Thus, if the principal is absolved, the documentation ceases, just like a pledge. If he absolves the guarantor, the liability of the debtor is not absolved, because he is a principal (asl), and he is not absolved by the absolution of the dependent. Furthermore, because he is a form of documentation that has dissolved without the debt being satisfied through it, the liability of the principal is not absolved from it, just like a pledge if it is rescinded without the debt being satisfied through it. Whichever of them pays the right, both are absolved from the party to whom it is owed; because it is a single right, and once it is satisfied once, its attachment to both of them ceases, just as if the right for which there is a pledge is satisfied. If one of them transfers the creditor, both are absolved; because the transfer (hawala) is like payment.

Section: If another guarantor guarantees the guarantor, it is valid, because it is a binding debt in his liability, so its guarantee is valid, like other debts. The right is established in the liabilities of three; whichever of them pays it, all of their liabilities are absolved; because it is a single right, and once it is paid once, it is not required to be paid again. If the creditor absolves the debtor, both guarantors are absolved; because they are branches. If he absolves the first guarantor, both guarantors are absolved, and the debtor is not absolved; due to what has preceded. If he absolves the first guarantor, he is absolved
