Making waqf and attaching the condition that one’s children will be the beneficiaries of the waqf

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?

Showing equal love and attention to one's children

Q: I want to know that if a child was expected to do certain things (provide,work etc) for the family by a certain age even when having other responsibilities isn't it only fair to expect all the other children, when they reach that age to be expected to do the same (especially since they have lesser responsibility than the first child did) as in Islam all the children should be treated equally, so just like they will have give driving lessons to the others as they did for the first child the same way the other children should be expected to do the same chores and work for the family the way the first child did.

Taking a certain daughter for hajj

Q: I want to ask about a property issue. What is the haqq of a girl child in Islam? How much should a father alot for his children if he has three children? The father converted to Islam just now only and does not believe in this, how to explain to him about this? And also this year the father is taking his elder daughter for hajj as her husband is an Ismaili and is not ready to give her money for hajj. Does the father have to give his younger daughter money for hajj?
