The Ruling on Timing a Waqf (Endowment) for a Fixed Period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The Shaykh made a mistake. Is it permissible to make a refusal for a limited period, such as saying, "This endowment is for ten years"?
Answer:
No, that does not happen. A waqf becomes a perpetual endowment, and the condition of ten years is void. As for the "Umrah and neck" (endowment) that people mention, there is disagreement regarding it, and the correct view is that it is invalid. This is because if a waqf is established, it must not be limited or temporary; it must be perpetual. Yes.
