2580. It was narrated that Qubaisâh bin Mukhârîq said: "I undertook a financial responsibility.[1] Then I came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and asked him (for help) concerning that. He said: 'Asking (for money) is not permissible except for three: A man who undertakes a financial responsibility between people; he may ask for help with that until the matter is settled, then he should refrain (from asking).'" (Sahîh)
2579 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ رِئَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي كِنَانَةُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ هَارُونَ، عَنْ كِنَانَةَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ، قَالَ: تَحَمَّلْتُ حَمَالَةً، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ، إِلَّا لِثَلَاثَةٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ بِحَمَالَةٍ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ فَسَأَلَ فِيهَا حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَهَا، ثُمَّ يُمْسِكَ»

The Glorious Qur'an has also deemed such kinds of people rightfully worthy recipients of Zakâh (Al-Gharimin - At-Tawbah: 60). This connotes a person who agrees to be responsible for the payment of some disputed amount of money as a guarantor in order to settle a dispute. But, subsequently, he finds himself incapable of disbursing it on his own. Such a person could take Zakâh wealth in order to pay his incurred debt.
