Waqf
Establish and govern enduring charitable endowments with strategic guidance, scholarly rulings, and formal certification.
What is the Waqf service?
Waqf — the endowment of an asset for perpetual benefit — is one of the great institutions of Islamic civilisation, and a powerful vehicle for lasting reward.
IFA advises on the structuring, governance, and certification of Waqf arrangements so they are both Shari'ah-sound and built to last.
