In Islamic law, a wakīl (وكيل), in older literature vakeel, is a deputy, delegate or agent who acts on behalf of a principal. It can refer to an attorney, a diplomat or the custodian of a mosque or religious order.[1]

Wakīl is also one of the names of God in Islam, meaning "Dependable". It is also used as a personal name, as short form of Abdul Wakil, meaning "Servant of the Dependable".
