Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner has relayed his question to you, Honorable Shaykh, and he says that your opinion matters greatly to him because he will end up doing what you see in the bequest regarding his father's real estate or a relative's real estate. He says: A relative of his passed away who owned a piece of real estate, and this real estate was sold. Is it better to build a mosque on it, or to spend it on avenues of good, such as building mosques, sponsoring orphans, supporting study circles, and others? What is your opinion, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
First, bequests and endowments are referred to the courts, and the overseer or anyone else does not dispose of them except by the order of the judge, so this is among the affairs of the courts; this is the general rule. As for what the questioner asked about, it is necessary to act according to the bequeather's condition. It is necessary to act according to the bequeather's condition, and it is not permissible to divert from the bequeather's condition as long as it is a valid condition, for it is obligatory to act upon it and adhere to it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
