Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My father has wealth, and he has appointed me as his legal agent. May I request money in return for that agency and trust? Because distributing the wealth requires verification and effort.
Answer:
Yes, you request it from your father who appointed you as his agent or entrusted you with it. You ask him, saying: I will handle this, but I am suspending my work, incurring expenses, and taking up some of my time. I want compensation for this. If he gives it to you, there is nothing wrong with it, as compensation for your labor. Yes.
