Yes.
The questioner:
Is the consent and agreement of the one for whom the endowment is made a condition?
The Shaykh:
An endowment is of two types: an endowment for general purposes, such as for mosques, schools, and the like, which is an endowment for a general category; and an endowment for a specific person, where one says, “I endow this for the house, or for Bakr, or for so-and-so.” This is an endowment for a specific person, and it is not a condition, even if they do not wish it to be a condition, that the needy [should consent]. Yes.
