Can I set up a personal injury trust for my son ?

Fatawa Question

My son, who is 28 years old, is going to receive compensation for injury he sustained when he was attacked during his study in the UK. I, his mother, came from my country to care for him because he was left with brain damage and left paralysis. His father stayed home to work and to support us. My son is a resident in the UK. His award is going to the court of protection, which appointed me as his deputy. I want to invest his money in accordance with the Shaiʿah laws and in a way that will benefit him for the rest of his life and for the time when his father and I will not be here to help him. I want to set up a personal injury trust and want to know what the opinion of Shariah is on this.
