Description

About the Book

This book is an analytical study of the historical development and socio-economic importance of the Islamic Law of Charitable Trust in eleven chapters. The wakf is not mentioned in the Holy Quran, but derives its legitimacy primarily from a number of Hadith. The immediate spread and popularity of the wakf derives from the fact that it served socio-economic needs of the people. This edition examines legal status of the wakf in Islamic perspectives.
