Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the nature of the biased endowment (waqf al-junf) that the Shaykh and Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a ruling forbidding? And did anyone precede him in denouncing it?
Answer:
And sin,[Al-Baqarah 2:182] the deviation is injustice, because he stops at the children of his sons and not the children of his daughters. This is a type of injustice, because the children of his daughters are part of his descendants. This is a type of injustice, as the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said. Yes.

Answer:

فَمَنْ خَافَ مِن مُّوصٍ جَنَفًا أَوْ إِثْمًا فَأَصْلَحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ
