Sunni and Shia Waqf boards

Sunni and Shia Waqf boards are government-established bodies responsible for managing religious endowments (waqfs) related to mosques, charities, and religious institutions within their respective communities. These boards oversee the proper administration, preservation, and utilization of donated assets to support religious, educational, and charitable activities. While both serve similar roles, they may cater to the specific needs and practices of Sunni or Shia communities, respecting their religious traditions. Their goal is to ensure that the endowments are used transparently and effectively for the benefit of their community members.
