A waqf library may be moved to a place where it will be of benefit

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Is it permissible for the heirs of the scholar who established the library, or for the supervisor, to move the library, which consists of (printed books, manuscripts, and documents) and is dedicated to students of knowledge, given that they do not have the ability to serve the students of knowledge, which has resulted in the benefit of the endowment being suspended? Is it permissible for the heirs or the supervisor to move it to the college to serve the students of knowledge and place it in a wing named after them?
A3: It is permissible to move a library dedicated to students of knowledge from a place where its benefit has been suspended to another place that is better and more beneficial; because the intention of the endower is for it to remain so that students of knowledge may benefit from it, and this is achieved by moving it.
