Rules of sale by the agent

This first part of the rules of sale within the mandate (wakala) examines the unrestricted mandate: may the agent sell below or above the market price, for cash or on credit, in the currency of the land or another, for money or for goods, and to whom may he sell? The jurists differ on each of these questions, and the detail is set out below. The chapter then addresses the restricted mandate (muqayyad) and the forms of the agent's overstepping of his mandate.

Parts of this section
