Endowment and the rules of trusteeship

This is a specialized jurisprudential study that sheds light on one of the most important chapters of transactions in Islamic jurisprudence, which is waqf. The book focuses on two main aspects: the concept of waqf and its importance: the book clarifies the nature of waqf in Islamic law, its virtue, and its different types (such as charitable waqf, family waqf, and shared waqf), as well as its noble objectives in serving society and achieving social solidarity. The rules of guardians (the trustees of waqf): this aspect is the core of the book, as it details the rules for appointing guardians, their conditions, powers, and duties towards the waqf and the beneficiaries, as well as their responsibilities in preserving, developing, and disbursing the waqf’s funds in legitimate channels, and cases of their dismissal or resignation. The book offers a comprehensive and deep view of the rulings of waqf, with a special focus on the pivotal role of guardians in ensuring the continuity of waqf and achieving its goals. This work is a valuable reference for jurists, researchers, and anyone interested in the jurisprudence of financial transactions and Islamic waqf.
