Jurisdiction of the Custodian
Issue No. 2315- If a person endows something for some particular persons (for example for his descendants), so that every group should benefit from it after another group, and the custodian of that property leases out the property, and later dies, if the lease has been to safeguard the interest of the waqf and the future generations, the lease will not become void. But, if the waqf has no custodian, and the first generation leases it out, and they die during the currency of the lease, then, there is harm in the continuation of the lease in respect to the future without the permission of the next generation. And if the tenant has paid the rent for the entire period, what is in relation to the period after the death of the first generation will be taken and will be given to the next generation (provided that they give permission for the continuation of the lease).
