She wants to endow her house, then have it sold after her death to be used for a mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I am a married woman with no children (barren), and I currently live in a house that I built with my own money. I wish to make my house an endowment (waqf) for Allah the Exalted, seeking reward and recompense from Him (Mighty and Majestic), excluding my residence in it as long as I am alive. I want the endowments authority to take it over after my death, sell it, and use its monetary value to build a mosque.
A: There is no harm in your endowing the aforementioned house. If you endow it as an immediate endowment, it exits your ownership, and you have the right to reside in it based on the condition mentioned. It is not permissible to sell it, neither in your lifetime nor after your death, because an endowment is not sold unless its benefits are suspended; in that case, it is sold and its price is spent on its equivalent. As for if you endow it after death, it takes the ruling of a bequest, and it is not executed unless
it comes out of the one-third [of the estate]. You have the right to revoke the bequest before death. If you die and it comes out of the one-third, it is obligatory to execute what you bequeathed. If its value exceeds the one-third, the amount of the one-third is executed, unless the heirs whose opinion is considered permit your bequest of the whole, in which case there is no harm.
