Question:
And the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in his explanation said: “If he appoints him as an agent to sell all his wealth, or whatever portion of it he wishes, that is valid. So what is the difference between that and the general agency that the author mentioned is invalid?”
Answer:
Yes, this is specific. The wealth is specific; there is no ambiguity. It is all his wealth, and it is specific and known, so there is no harm. Or selling a portion of it. As long as it is known, it is valid in agency. Yes.
