Carpeting and repairing mosques is a form of ongoing charity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is carpeting mosques with carpets and repairing them considered ongoing charity?

Answer:
Yes, it is from waqf (endowment); it counts as waqf. Whatever is used to build mosques, or to repair a mosque, or to carpet a mosque, or the mushafs (written copies of the Qur'an) placed in the mosque, or the electricity, or the fans, or the air conditioners, or the air conditioners— all of this is in the category of waqf, which is ongoing charity. Yes.
