Distribution of the endowment's income among the descendants

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is there a distinction between the heirs and the form, such as the memorizers of my master?

The Shaykh:
Endowments differ, and judges and rulers look into them. Endowments vary; if the stipulator established this endowment for one or two specific purposes or something similar, then the surplus is to be spent on the causes of righteousness, just as it is spent on the causes of good deeds. If he stated that the surplus should be given to so-and-so, or so-and-so, or the needy among the descendants, it is to be divided between them according to their need. There is a distinction here. And if he stated that the surplus is to be spent on such-and-such, on the mujahideen, or on a specific matter, it is to be done in the same manner.

The questioner:
From the lessee, the male descendants, and how is the mention of the house to be?

The Shaykh:
According to need, not according to inability, but according to need. Yes.
