The answer

If the representative is like an agent or an employee, then he is not liable unless there is negligence or dereliction in safekeeping; because his hand is a hand of trust unless he transgresses. And if his signing of a blank check is a commercial custom, then this does not obligate him with liability, unless he violates the customary instructions and conditions; because custom is اعتبار (considered/given weight). So long as the representative has carried out the employer's instructions, he is not liable.
