استبدال الأوقاف : الحكم الشرعي و الأبعاد التنموية

Abstract EN

The study tackles the replacing endowment; its rules, and role in development.

Over time, the endowment may be losing its effectiveness, so it must be reconsidered and activated in order to achieve what it has been dedicated for.

The research has adopted the analytical inductive approach; by extrapolating the Sharia contexts and the opinions of jurists; and trying to understand them based on the purposes of Sharia.

The research findings show that the disagreement between jurists concerning the endowment replacement refers to considering the endowment's interest.

Replacement of endowment is permitted in both real estate and chattels in case its utility has ceased, or the endowment can be exploited on something more profitable.

There are some rules that should be respected in replacing endowment in order not to be lost or used for personal interests.

The study also provided examples for replacing the endowment for contributing to development.
