Land endowed for a mosque and its produce spent on it; is what the trustees of the endowment are doing correct?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. After this, a message reached the program from Lahij in Yemen, signed by two sisters from there, Dhakiyyah and Huda. They ask and say: Some people among us leave a piece of agricultural land and say, "This is a path (sabil) for the mosque." They plant in it and gather its fruit, then sell it, and buy something for the mosque with the proceeds. This land remains like this, from one person to another, and they do not eat from its fruit. They say it is forbidden (haram). Is this practice correct? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, this practice is correct. If this endowment is for the mosque, then it is obligatory to spend its produce on the mosque, and it is not permissible for them to eat anything from it, unless the endower stipulated that the one who manages it and takes charge of its affairs may eat from it; in that case, there is no harm. But if the endower did not stipulate any of that, then the whole of it is for the benefit of the mosque. Yes.
