The inquirer must purchase the recharge card for his father if he is acting as his agent in this matter, because an agent is bound by what he has been entrusted with and must act in the best interest of his principal. The recharge card grants the father a validity period that is not available when sending credit. However, if the father said to him: "Transfer or send me credit equivalent to its value," then in this case, the inquirer is a seller, not an agent, and there is no harm in doing what he mentioned in the question.
