Question:
He says: Shaykh, what are the causes of the decline of waqf in our present time? We say that we do not see any interest in it, and what is the remedy in the Shaykh's view?
Answer:
Waqf is not obligatory in the first place. Whoever wants to establish a waqf is the owner of it and receives reward, and whoever does not want to establish a waqf owes nothing. People's circumstances differ. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you
