Lending Waqf Items

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by CouncilofUlama.co.za

Q: A mutawalli was asking regarding items made Waqf specifically for the Masjid:
1.  Do the mutawallis have the authority to borrow it out to other people? Eg extra chairs / carpets etc.
2.  Can they give old Quraans to other organizations? The Qurans were given and stamped specifically for their Masjid.

A: These items may be given or lent to another masjid and not to individuals or organizations. These cannot be loaned or used by individuals out of a masjid unless it was given to the masjid to use as they wish.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
