The Ruling on a Conditional Waqf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a conditional waqf, whether it is conditioned on the arrival of a person or the death of the endower?

Answer:
This is not binding unless the condition is fulfilled. An immediate waqf is what is binding at that moment, whereas a waqf conditioned on a specific condition does not become a waqf unless that condition is realized.
