The Ruling on Endowing One's Property
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to make a lineage endowment, even if some of them are wealthy?
Answer:
It is permissible for a person to endow his property, but he must not burn his finger without stating that this is an endowment on his property, whether it is a tree or rain or whatever the case may be. However, making an endowment on the sons of the sons, as they say, to the exclusion of the daughters' children, is not permissible. The Shaykh, Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, condemned this in his treatise, which he titled "The Time of the Session," describing it as depriving the daughters' children of their rights. If a person makes an endowment on his children, it includes the sons' children and the daughters' children.
