The combination of the capacities of lender and borrower in one person. This does not constitute a loan contract. An example of an unavailing ground of challenge.
Arabic original
عقد القرض ملُزم لجانبيه وينشئ التزامات متقابلة في جانب كل من المقرض والمقترض مما يقتضي وجود ذمتين ماليتين منفصلتين. اجتماع صفتي المقرض والمقترض في شخص واحد. لايُعد ذلك عقد قرض. مثال لنعي غير منتج.
