The ruling on what an agent hunts or gathers for his principal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man is appointed as an agent by another to hunt or gather firewood, is he required to give his principal a share of the game and the firewood, or is he at liberty to decide?

Answer:
His principal? It is possible, meaning the principal gives the agent or does not give him? It is good if he gives him something, and if he does not give him, he is not required to do so, because he gathered it for him with the intention that it belongs to him, yes, on his behalf.
