Cancellation of a Waqf After Its Execution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Hisham from Riyadh says: If a man endows a property he owns, such as a building or other real estate, but while he is still alive he changes that and cancels the endowment, what is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
If the endowment was executed during his lifetime, it is not permissible to cancel it, and it has exited his ownership. However, if the endowment is contingent upon death, where he says, “If I die, my property of so-and-so is an endowment,” this is a bequest, and he is permitted to retract it. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes,
