How do I create a valid waqf for my property in Gurugram?
PR Asked by Pradeep Naidu from India
Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
A waqf in Gurugram is a permanent dedication of movable or immovable property for religious, charitable, or pious purposes recognised under Muslim law. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that a waqf must be perpetual and the property must be transferred to God with the settlor relinquishing ownership.
Under the Haryana Rent Control Act 1973 and the Waqf Act, the waqf must be registered with the state waqf board. A mutawalli is appointed to manage the waqf property and cannot alienate it without court permission.
The dedication can be oral or written and takes effect immediately. A waqf cannot be revoked once created.
