Moving a prayer-times chart from one mosque to another

Question

A person, out of his personal income, put up a chart of (prayer) times in Zayd’s mosque and made it waqf. For 6 years now it has been hanging there completely useless, idle and unheeded — that is, the imam of this mosque does not act according to it. In such a situation, if this endowed prayer-times chart is taken out of this mosque and endowed to another mosque, where prayer is held regularly and which has no chart — the mosque that needs it — will that be correct?

Answer

If the original owner endowed it specifically for this very mosque and that waqf also became valid, then regarding transferring it thereafter to another mosque the jurists have two opinions; the preponderant (rajih) one is that transferring it is not permissible. Therefore the imam and those praying behind him (muqtadis)
