Question:
The questioner, Ahmad Muhammad from Yemen, says: Is it true that if the funds of a waqf (endowment) are from the father, they are for men only, not women?
Answer:
On the contrary, the waqf (endowment) is for the descendants, both men and women, and men are not specified to the exclusion of women among his descendants. Because this would be a biased waqf (endowment); it would be a forbidden biased waqf (endowment) if he specifies males to the exclusion of females among his descendants. So this is a biased waqf (endowment) that is invalid, and he commits a sin for it. Yes.
