The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a previous question from a previous lesson that its owner corrected, and he says: I appointed a person to buy a piece of land, and he bought it for me, and it is now in my ownership, and the agency is still with this person. He now wants to buy it from me. Is it permissible for this agent to sell this land and buy it for himself with this agency and without my presence?
The Shaykh:
What does the Shari'ah say about it? Yes.
The questioner:
The agent did not intend to buy it for himself.
The Shaykh:
If you have taken possession of it, you have taken possession of it with its boundaries, and your ownership of it is established, it is permissible for you to sell it to the agent who bought it for you. Yes.
