The answer

The death of the guarantor does not invalidate the guarantee. The heirs are obligated to pay the guaranteed debt from the inheritance if the claimant demands it. It is stated in Al-Insaf by Al-Mardawi: "And the (ruling) applies whether alive or dead." If the deceased did not leave behind enough to cover the debt, then their heirs are not obligated to pay it.
