Updated on 25 September 2026 at 6:57 PM

This chapter sets out the causes that terminate the mandate (wakala) according to the four schools: the agent's resignation, dismissal by the principal, the death of either party, total or partial insanity, fainting, legal interdiction, apostasy, intoxication, the exit of the object of the mandate from the principal's ownership, the destruction of the object of the mandate, the agent's excess beyond what was entrusted to him, the completion of the object of the mandate, and the separation of the partners. For each cause the schools' positions are set against one another, with their proofs and their practical consequences for the validity of the agent's acts.
