Summary
A waqf share contract made through a website or sent by post is permissible and valid, even without the recipient of the waqf pronouncing acceptance (qabul) in the same session. Compensation money received because of a death, such as life insurance payouts and death benefit funds, is treated as faraid property. It must be distributed according to the faraid system.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
