Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has a second question, Honorable Shaykh. He asks about waqf (an endowment): what are the things that can be endowed, that are suitable for waqf, and that bring benefit to him in this world and the Hereafter?

Answer:
The things that are suitable for waqf are those whose substance remains and whose yield is utilized, such as houses, farms, and trees whose substance remains and whose fruit is utilized in acts of righteousness. These are the things for which a bequest is valid; yes, it is valid to endow them.
