Question: Zaid wishes to purchase a specific car. He appoints Bakar as an agent to purchase it on his behalf. Is it permissible for Bakar to purchase the car for himself?

Answer: No, it will not be permissible for Bakar to purchase the car for himself. This will be considered as deceiving Zaid.

وإذا وكله بشراء شيء بعينه فليس له ان يشتريه لنفسه( القدوري ج٢ص ٧٣)
