Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner from outside this country says: The judges in our country are not trustworthy. Is it permissible for the endower to appoint one of his relatives or one of his heirs as the supervisor of his endowment, because he does not trust the courts in his country?

Answer:
This is the default ruling: one returns to the courts in case of disagreement. However, if there is no disagreement, the endower’s condition is implemented. He may appoint one of his children or relatives as the supervisor, according to his condition and his judgment regarding that matter.
