The ruling on retracting a waqf (endowment) after a period of time has passed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to retract a waqf (endowment) after a short or long period of time has passed?

Answer:
If it is an immediate waqf (endowment), it is not permissible to retract it. However, if it is a waqf (endowment) contingent upon death, its ruling is the ruling of a bequest, and he has the right to retract it. Yes.
