Summary
The land is a family waqf (waqf zurri) for the beneficiaries and their descendants under the trust deed dated 26 March 1903. Rental income and profits are used for an annual feast, with the balance spent on the named family beneficiaries. The method of using and distributing proceeds requires the consent of all beneficiaries, while any decision to develop the land must be made by mutual agreement between MAINPP and all the heirs. MAINPP as trustee may take over management or hand it to the heirs under its supervision, and the compensation for Lot 496 must be shown to have been used for istibdal, otherwise it is treated as a debt returned to MAINPP, and delay in prompt istibdal is not permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
