Waqf deeds registered & compliant
This criterion assesses whether the organization has properly registered and legally documented its waqf (endowment) assets in compliance with both Islamic principles and relevant legal frameworks. In the UK context, 'waqf registration' is evidenced through the charity’s governing/trust documentation, HM Land Registry title entries/restrictions for land, and permanent endowment fund accounting—rather than a separate state waqf registry. It evaluates the organization's commitment to establishing sustainable, perpetual assets with proper governance, documentation, and legal protection (Hifdh al-Mal). Waqf structures must satisfy charity/public benefit requirements; private/family waqf purposes are not charitable and require separate trust arrangements outside the charity.
