The agent's oversteps in buying

This second part of the rules of the mandate (wakala) examines the cases in which the agent departs from what was entrusted to him: violation of the stipulated option of rescission (khiyar), performing a valid contract when he was entrusted with a void one, buying above the market price, the agent buying from himself or from his close relatives, buying a defective item, and exceeding the restrictions fixed by the principal as to the genus or the amount of the price. It then deals with the agent's right to retain the purchased goods until he is reimbursed, the delegation of the agent to another, and the plurality of agents, according to the positions of the four schools with their classical references.
