Designating the Trusteeship (Tawliya) of a Waqf

Question

(1) I make waqf this property of mine which is written in this paper. (2) The declarant herself will remain the mutawalliya (trustee) of the endowed property (mawquf) for life, will carry out its administration and management in accordance with this waqf, and will spend the income of the endowed property on those purposes which are recorded in this waqf deed. (3)

Answer

For the validity of a waqf it is not necessary that its mutawalli too be designated forever; rather, even if no one is appointed mutawalli, the waqf is still valid according to the view on which the fatwa is given (mufta bihi)
