The ruling on an agent giving a check for the amount his principal paid in cash to his principal's creditor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If he was given, for example, ten thousand cents, is it valid for him to deposit these ten thousand and issue a check?
The Shaykh : It appears that he has no need to do so, because this will burden the creditor by having to go to the bank and carry the check and the like, and there may be harm in it. Yes.
The questioner : greatly.
The Shaykh : He asks his partner. He says: You gave me ten thousand, and instead of the cash, there are ten thousand in it, and I witness to it, and I deposited it in the bank in my account, then I transfer it to him. He sought his permission.
