Summary
Endowing copies of the Quran as waqf is permissible under certain conditions. The waqf manager must first purchase the copies, and the donor then buys them from the manager through an ordinary sale contract or bay' al-mu'atah. The waqf is done as cash waqf, with the manager stating the actual value of the copies and only the related costs, and providing a clear information form. The manager must also obtain written permission from MAIWP in accordance with the law in force.
