A Fee For Guaranteeing Operation
What is the Shariah ruling with regard to an agreement with a vendor in which he is required to inspect new cars for the bank and guarantee their operation for a certain period of time in return for charging a certain fee?
It is lawful that a fee be paid to a vendor for the inspection of the cars and their repair when they break down. On the other hand, an agreement that a certain amount will be given to him for guaranteeing any damage sustained by each car during a period of time in addition to his pledging to repair the same is a contract for something undefined and therefore invalid.
