What is the ruling on the work and salary of an accountant in a factory that sells on credit (deferred payment) by agreement with the branch manager, on condition that the factory owner is informed that the sale is cash, and the manager pays on behalf of the customers to the factory owner?

The agent must act in the interest of the principal and within the authorized scope. He is not permitted to violate the factory owner's condition of not selling on credit; otherwise, he is liable. Your salary is permissible (), and advise the manager not to violate the condition.
