He said: “Waqf in language means confinement, and they are two synonymous terms
used by jurists to express one meaning, and it is applied to what is waqf, so it is said
that this is the endowment of so-and-so, i.e. the endowment entities, and it is a verb
meaning an object, like weaving in the sense of woven, and it is applied to the infinitive,
which is giving.”
