The Ruling on Endowing for Males Only, Excluding Females
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. I am a resident of the Ta’if region. I have agricultural land with documents dating back to the early era. I am from Ta’if, and I have agricultural land with documents from the early era, which is endowed for the descendants of the male line, excluding the descendants of the female line, meaning males excluding females. Is this endowment valid or invalid? And what is the evidence for its validity or invalidity?
Answer:
The court’s prayer contains blessing, so it is better for the believer, if he makes an endowment, not to restrict it to males only, meaning not to limit it to the male line excluding the female line. However, this issue requires the judge’s review. In other matters, there is blessing, if Allah wills, as it may involve close relatives. Yes.
