The Limit of Waqf Compared to Bequest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Likewise, a waqf (endowment) of what exceeds one-third.
Answer:
A waqf has no limit; the limit in a bequest is one-third. As for a waqf, one may endow whatever he wishes. If it is immediate, it becomes binding from the moment he speaks it. If it is conditional upon death, such as saying, "If I die, this thing is a waqf," then it takes the ruling of a bequest and is reduced to one-third. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
