An Arabic term that denotes misrepresentation guarantee. It is a third-party’s guarantee which secures refunding the price to the buyer if the sold commodity appears to be legally owned by a person other than the seller. In other words, the seller of a property is sometimes asked to provide a surety against any defect in the title of that property, by virtue of which, the buyer has the right to rescind the contract and redeem his money.
Dhaman al-uhdah (also spelled daman al-uhdah) is also called dhaman al-darak.
