The Ruling on the Zakah of an Endowment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Ali, has a set of questions regarding the endowment (waqf). As for the endowment, is zakah due on it?

Answer:
No, a charitable endowment has no zakah due on it; because its distribution is the same as the distribution of zakah, which is charity and doing good to people, to the needy. Yes.
