A masjid is normally made into a waqf. It is permissible to limit who is allowed to use this waqf/masjid? Is it permissible to restrict who the trustees/ persons in charge of managing the waqf/masjid will be? For example can one say that only ones family/tribe will be able to manage this waqf/masjid?
Such conditions are allowed for waqf for other purposes, as can be seen from the example below, but I want to know if they are allowed for masjids as well?
Quote:
Umer (Radhiyallahu Anhu) made waqf of the land which he acquired from the battle of Khaibar and stipulated conditions that it cannot be sold, gifted, or inherited. The income derived from it will be spent on travelers, guests, solders, the poor and needy, and the family members of Umer (Radhiyallahu Anhu). Hafsa (Radhiyallahu Anha) will be the first trustee thereafter Ibn Umer (Radhiyallahu Anhu). After the demise of these two, the eldest from the family of Umer will become the trustee. The trustee will be able to eat from it an ordinary amount, but will not be able to hoard and stock it.
