The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a man to be both the husband and the agent for the bride's father at the same time during the contract, through a valid legal agency?

The Shaykh:
Is it permissible

Yes, it is permissible for him to handle both sides of the contract; he may contract for himself or for another, and there is no harm in that.
