Removing endoweed Qur'ans from the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He said: Shaykh, there are Qur'ans in the mosque, and it is written on them: “Endowed to Allah the Exalted.” Is it permissible to take them to another mosque and not return them to the mosque whose owner endowed them?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to take Qur'ans from the mosque, because they have become an endowment for the mosque. Therefore, it is not permissible to remove them from it, neither to homes, nor to other mosques, nor to schools. They are an endowment for the mosque, designated for that specific mosque. Yes.

Another questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
If they exceed the mosque's need, they are kept in storage. If the mosque needs them later, they are placed back in it. Yes.
