Is what the lady recommended, regarding the holding of Qur’anic recitations (khatamat), considered a charitable endowment (waqf khayri)? Is it permissible for her to revoke the endowment? And do we bear a legal obligation in this regard after the property has been sold?

The waqf (endowment) is considered binding and cannot be revoked, sold, or disposed of, according to the majority of scholars. This is supported by the hadith of Umar ibn al-Khattab from the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the Companions agreed upon this. The private (family) waqf (waqf dhurri) is permissible by the agreement of the four madhhabs, though there is a disagreement on who should be included in it. It is also permissible for the endower himself to be included in this waqf. As for the condition of reciting khatmas (complete recitations of the Quran) in the house on special occasions, this is not legislated. It should be replaced with Quran teaching circles, as there is no authentic narration from the Prophet, peace be upon him, dedicating this specifically to the deceased. The woman's action of revoking the aforementioned waqf and her children selling the property is approved because the governmental decision to abolish private waqfs, coupled with the sharia courts' non-recognition of it, renders it null and void, returning the property to its owner or their heirs.
