Chapter 12.0

Can the founder of an endowment have the benefit of his endowment?

باب هَلْ يَنْتَفِعُ الْوَاقِفُ بِوَقْفِهِ

وَقَدِ اشْتَرَطَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَقَدْ يَلِي الْوَاقِفُ وَغَيْرُهُ. وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ جَعَلَ بَدَنَةً أَوْ شَيْئًا لِلَّهِ، فَلَهُ أَنْ يَنْتَفِعَ بِهَا كَمَا يَنْتَفِعُ غَيْرُهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْتَرِطْ.

The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man driving a Badana (i.e. camel for sacrifice) and said to him, "Ride on it." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! It is a Bandana."
