Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I bought a book, then I went home and found it written on it: "Endowed for Allah." What is the ruling in this matter?
Answer:
The ruling is that its sale is not valid. So go back to the one who sold it to you and say to him: This is an endowment. You sold me something that is not permissible to sell. Take the price and give me the book. Yes.
