Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to make a waqf (endowment) for one's descendants?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to make a waqf (endowment) for one's descendants, provided it is not a transfer of ownership but rather a waqf (endowment) from which they benefit. However, if it is made as a waqf (endowment) that transfers ownership, no, that is not permissible. Yes.
