The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This brother, the questioner, says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the condition for an endowment? And is it permissible to transfer an endowment from one place to another, or from one country to another?
The Shaykh:
An endowment must be for righteousness, such as charity, spending on mosques, or teaching the Qur'an. It must be for righteousness, or for the needy and the poor. Is an endowment not for righteousness? Yes.
The questioner:
Yes. He says: transferring it from one place to another.
The Shaykh:
It is referred to the Sharia court, which examines whether it is permissible to transfer it or not. Yes.
