The Difference Between Intercession and Agency in Taking a Fee

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If he gave it to him as a gift before he interceded for him.

Answer:
Is it for the sake of the intercession, or is it not permissible? If it is for the sake of the intercession, it is not permissible. But if it is for the sake of love, kinship, and intercession from a distance, it is permissible. If they agreed with each other, for example, saying, "I, for instance, prepare, for example, I have finished this matter and you pay me a specific amount." And this, this intercession, which was agency, follows up the transaction, right? Not by intercession. If he follows up the transaction, it ends up being agency, and he has a fee, like the agent in lawsuits and disputes. But if he intercedes, saying, "So-and-so, they settled, and they settled it for you like this, and they gave you this, and the legal intercession presents So-and-so," this is intercession, which the employees know. Then he sends a distinction between agency and intercession: agency has a fee for its owner, but intercession does not.
