Hazrat Ata bin Saib narrates that a man came to Ibrahim and said that a woman received news of her husband's death and she got married, but later a letter arrived stating that he was alive. Ibrahim said that when he comes, he should stay away from his wife. Then, if he wishes, he may take back the dowry and the woman will remain in her current state, and if he chooses the woman, then after the waiting period, she will be his wife. However, she must receive the dowry from the second husband. The man asked, "Can I act as an agent (wakil) for this woman?" He replied, "Yes, but do not go to her without her permission."
