What concerns the endowment of Qur'ans
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 16433 )
Q1: My father has been deceased for ten years, and I give charity on his behalf, such as purchasing a number of Qur'ans and placing them in the mosques of my town, as they are in need of Qur'ans there. However, I write on the Qur'ans with a stamp: "Endowment for the soul of the late Muhammad Muhammad Faraj." What is the opinion of the religion regarding this: is this forbidden or permissible? Or should I write only: "(Endowment to Allah)," or leave it blank? Please inform us of the best and correct way to handle such a matter, may Allah have mercy on you.
A1: Giving charity on behalf of your deceased father and endowing Qur'ans and dedicating their reward to him is a good deed, and we hope that Allah will accept it from you. It is permissible to write the words "(Endowment to Allah)" on the Qur'ans to inform people of their status as an endowment so that they do not dispose of them in a manner that conflicts with the endowment. As for writing the name, it is better to leave it out. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
