Meaning of Charitable Endowment in Islam<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>charitable endowment (Waqf)<\/b> is a form of permanent charity where property or assets are dedicated to a specific charitable cause, with the principal being preserved while the proceeds are used for the benefit of others.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
