Q:

1. Does the income of waqf alal awlaad (making one’s children the beneficiaries of the waqf) have to be distributed equally between the male and female children or will it be in accordance to the law of inheritance where the male will receive two shares and the female one share?

2. Can the donor or the trustees, after the death of the donor of such a waqf, specify different avenues for the entire income or portion thereof to be spent on, besides the awlaad e.g. he says that all the income is to be given to a certain musjid or organization? If this is permissible, does anyone of the donees have a right to object to this and ask for his share?

3. Our madrasah property is waqf alal awlaad. The madrasah takes fees and accepts donations which is spent only on the madrasah.

a. Are the awlaad entitled to a portion of this as it is a source of income to the waqf (although none of the donees asked for anything as they have accepted that the income will go to the madrasah)?

b. Does the madrasah have to pay the waqf rent or do the trustees have the right to allow the madrasah to use it without a charge?
