The ruling on the beneficiary of a waqf (endowment) investing in a waqf conditioned for residence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for the beneficiary of a waqf to invest in the waqf that belongs to him or to someone else, even though the one who established the waqf conditioned that it be for residence? Is the question clear?
Answer:
It is obligatory to act according to the condition of the endower and not to go beyond it. For this reason, the jurists, or some of them, exaggerate and say: "The condition of the endower is like the text of the Lawgiver; it is not permissible to exceed it or change it." Yes.
