The questioner:
The Shaykh’s estate: is it permissible for the time to be…
The Shaykh:
In the matters that necessitate… As for…
The questioner:
It must be in righteousness and obedience.
The Shaykh:
The permissible matters are righteousness and obedience. So if he endows for the needy, or for the mosques, or for charitable projects, it is righteousness and obedience, and there is reward in it. But if he endows for something that contains no righteousness, this is not an endowment and it is not valid. An endowment is not valid unless it is for a purpose of righteousness. As for an endowment that is not for a purpose of righteousness, this is not an endowment and it is not valid.
