Signing on behalf of someone
Question
Is it permissible to sign something in someone else's name if they give you permission?
For example, my younger sister needs my parents to sign something for school and my parents are not in the city. If my mother gives me the permission to sign the paper in her name because she is unable to, is this permissible?
Answer
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
