Waqf Shari'ah (religious endowment)
Waqf Shari’ah, or religious endowment, is a voluntary dedication of property or assets for charitable, religious, or social purposes in accordance with Islamic law. Once established, the assets are kept intact, and the income generated is used to fund mosques, schools, hospitals, or other community needs. The original property can’t be sold or inherited, ensuring continuous benefit to society. Waqf plays a vital role in promoting social welfare, education, and religious activities, reflecting a commitment to community service rooted in Islamic principles.
