The answer

The endowment is valid if it occurred during the endower's lifetime and while he was of sound mind, and if it was taken possession of before his death. It is not permissible to revoke it. Its proceeds are to be distributed among the beneficiaries as stipulated by the endower; if he did not stipulate, then equally. The share of any deceased beneficiary ceases and reverts to the people of the endowment (the endower's children and their offspring). The children of the daughter are included in "the offspring." The endowment of an apartment to the mother and sister for their lifetime is valid and is akin to a life estate (umra). After their death, it reverts to the father's heirs, as of the day of his death.
