Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question has a similar one that came up a little while ago regarding endowments. He says: I have endowments that my father and my grandfather before him established, and they are animals, cattle and sheep. Is it permissible to sell them? And what should I do with them, because I am unable to manage them?
Answer:
Consult the court. Consult the court, and the court will guide you to what is required. If you are unable to manage them, consult the court. The court will order you to sell them, or otherwise appoint someone else to manage them. These are endowments, so you must seek guidance from your court. Either they are sold and you buy something that benefits the deceased, such as land or the like, or you appoint someone else to manage them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
