The Difference Between Exclusivity and Ownership in Rulings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a land grant confers exclusive use but not ownership, unless the recipient revives the land. What is the difference between exclusive use and ownership in terms of rulings?

Answer:
Ownership allows a person to sell, give away, or bequeath the item, and it is inherited from him if he dies. Exclusivity, however, does not permit selling, giving away, or bequeathing it, nor is it inherited from him if he dies, unless he gives it as a gift. Yes.
