Peter C. Hennigan, "The Birth of a Legal Institution"

It is not an exaggeration to claim that the waqf, or pious endowment created in perpetuity, has provided the foundation for much

of what is considered “Islamic civilization.” The importance of the waqf has not gone unnoticed. Turn-of-the-century Orientalists undertook some of the earliest Western historical studie of the waqf, 1 whilethe survival of waqf deeds (waqfiyyas) from the Mamlùk dynasty and Ottoman empire has contributed to a sizable body of scholarship on the waqf in more recent times. 2 What has not been studied, however, are the earliest extant treatises on the waqf—the A˙kàm al-Waqf of Hilàl al-Ra"y (d. 245/859) and the A˙kàm al-Awqàf of al-Khaßßàf (d. 261/874). By definition, a waqf is an inalienable trust. In creating the waqf, the ounder/settlor3 (wàqif ) makes the principal (aßl ) of a revenueproducing property inalienable in perpetuity and assigns the usufruct or yields (manfa'a) of the property to specified persons or institutions. The property is placed in possession of a fiduciary (wàlì or mutawallì) who administers the trust for the benefit of a third party. Islamic law requires that the remainder interest be a charitable purpose. Although greatly curtailed in the twentieth century by both colonial and post-colonial governments, the waqf (pl. awqàf, and in North Africa, s. ˙ubs/˙abs/˙ubus, 4 pl. ˙abùs/a˙bàs) still continues to exist within Islamic society.

Please appreciate my work, download from my references!!!

Thanks for the link. I've had a DP account for years; they are the best. And they pay more than UPL, which blocks most countries. And UPL downloads at half the speed of RS and File Factory (2 other P2P services where I have accounts). I won't use a service that provides a "Rapidshare Tool" which allows thefts from RS, a German company that spends huge attorney fees to protect P2P interests. Uploading does nothing for us. Please think about not using them. I have several books on Islamic justice (fiqh). They are mostly scanned and not up to avax standards. Leave a note here if you need specific titles. Also I get everything from 97Renven and Passfans; those goofs don't know how to secure websites.
