Permissibility of agency by Shari’ah is demonstrated in the noble Qur`an,where Allah, Exalted be He, says: {“...So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the town, and let him find out which is the good lawful food...”} Similitude of this incidence to agency is that the one who was sent to the town to buy the food was the agent of the others. In Sunnah, a Hadith was narrated by Urwah Al-Bariqi (may  Allah  be  pleased  with him) who said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had given him one dinar to purchase a sacrificial sheep for the Prophet, an incidence involves agency. As regards to Ijma’ (consensus of Fuqah) the author of, the author of the“Al-Bahr Al-ZakhkharAl-Bahr Al-Zakhkhar”and others have demonstrated permissibility. Also, in common sense agency is well demonstrated in terms of the help of others that one may sometimes need, especially for things that he cannot do himself.that he cannot do himself.
