The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Which is better in an endowment (waqf), to be equal between the male and the female if they are siblings, or to distribute among them based on the rule that the male gets the share of two females?

The Shaykh:
Both are permissible. He should look at what is in the public benefit (maslahah) and do that. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
If he says to the male, "like the women," then following the imam is achieved by the division of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
