Waqf Forever
Issue No. 2309- If a person endows a property, he should, as a recommended precaution, set the beginning of the endowment from the time he is uttering the formula, and not determine an end for the endowment. Therefore, if he says, "This property will stand endowed after my death" the endowment is not in order, or if he says, “This property remains endowed for ten years from now”, it is not in order either. But, one can endow a property forever, with the condition of the first few years’ worth of its benefits being at the disposal of the endower or another person and no one else being able to make use of it.
