This first collection of sheets from the encyclopedia of fiqh chapter on waqfs (habous) and property brings together ten sheets: the legitimacy of the waqf and its legal ruling, the definition of mawat (dead land) and the evidence for its revival, the 'ariya (loan for use) with its naming and its legitimacy, the differences between hiba, 'atiyya, hadiyya and sadaqa, between hiba and wasiyya, the hadiyya versus the rishwa (bribe), gifts made to governors, and finally the difference between wadi'a and amana. Each sheet fully conveys the positions of the schools, the hadiths with their sources (al-Bukhari, Muslim and others), the exact figures and the classical references given in parentheses.
