The Waqf Administrator Taking from the Waqf Funds What He Needs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for the administrator of a waqf (endowment) to take from the waqf funds what he needs?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for him, provided he is its guardian. There is no harm in his eating from it, as long as he does not accumulate wealth, just as 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, in return for his work. Yes.
