Question:
What is the ruling on selling an endowment (waqf) if its benefit has ceased?

Answer:
The default ruling for an endowment (waqf) is that it is not permissible to sell it as long as it is being used. If its benefits have ceased, the case is referred to the Sharia court to examine it and do what is best for this endowment.
