Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
This questioner, Abu Ibrahīm, says: Regarding the waqf (endowment), is it permissible to transfer it from one place to another, meaning from one country to another, if its benefits have ceased? And what is the wage of the waqf that is due to the hired workers?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, matters concerning endowments and bequests are referred to the Shari'ah courts, which examine them, along with the actions of those in charge of them, and their sale and replacement. All of this falls within the jurisdiction of the judge.
