We never really look deep down and try to read more about Muslims laws and acts. I too might have ignored several details about them if my friend had not shared them with me. Recently I got to know from her what is Waqf Board. A Waqf Board is a juristic individual with power to acquire and hold property and to transfer any such property.
Waqf works by donating an asset that can provide financial return or benefit which serves specific categories of beneficiaries. I did research on it as well so let me share more information related to it here.
