Doha, Qatar: The General Directorate of Endowments at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has received a new real estate endowment consisting of a residential building located on Bin Dirham Street in Al Mansoura. The property was donated by a Qatari benefactress and placed under the supervision of the Directorate, with its revenues allocated to the Endowment Fund for Al-Birr and Al-Taqwa.

The initiative reflects a growing awareness of directing real estate assets toward sustainable charitable purposes that generate long-term community impact.

Real estate endowments are considered a cornerstone in developing and stabilising endowment resources. They are distinguished by their ability to generate relatively steady returns while preserving the original asset, with opportunities for future development to enhance yields.

According to the donor’s stipulation, the endowment’s revenues will support the Al-Birr and Al-Taqwa Endowment Fund, while granting her son the right to reside in the property if needed.

This condition achieves a balance between legitimate family interests and the broader objectives of the waqf. Such arrangements are Shariah-compliant, provided the principal asset remains preserved and its benefits are directed according to the donor’s terms.
